I thought he died on a plane with the Big Bopper.
Pretty much how my conversation with my kids went when I heard the news. Unintentional but timely reference to @Carson's post.
It's funny, my generation knew pretty much all the stars of yesteryear, I'd of thought that in this era of digital devices and social media the younger generation would have a better grasp on things like this.... Seems like I'm always explaining to the kids who so & so "was". We've lost a Sh!t ton of entertainment giants in the last couple of years.
Guitar Hero has done a good job opening kids up to a lot of different music. My son started listening to System of a Down and Rage because of it.that was SRV,
Chuck Berry made the twist famous
cheap headsets, and the ipod. No longer forced to listen to parent music -
Like The Smiths. The version with Morrissey.
They do know some of the old songs because of guitar hero. if you consider Band on the Run, or Stranglehold examples.....
They guy I work with has never seen any of the Jim Carrey movies. I literally quote Dumb and Dumber 100 times a day and he has no clue. He's also never seen the Matrix or Jurrasic Park!! What!!??I quoted Animal House yesterday to a 29yr old coworker. He had ZERO clue. How is that possible?
Yes, I mean he wasnt the nicest of guys....but as I was telling my 2 coworkers...Funny, all I've been hearing on the radio talk shows it what a real nasty SOB he was. Not what u want to be remembered for.
This is fair...I mean I had oldies piped into my brain for eons...I probably know more 50-60s songs than the average person my age but Chuck Berry... I mean to me I just thought that Johnny B Goode was so iconic in this country you would basically have to grow up with ear plugs not to have heard it/be aware of it.@UtahJoe learned from Harry Harrison.
Its funny...Myself @gtluke and @Santapez were having this conversation on Friday about how Luke knows this person who doesnt know what X iconic movie was....and that they must be a Russian spy or something....Steve made the great point...."no no...a spy would absolutely be taught what these things before being sent to America" Like if we were to go find a russian spy today....im sure the KGB told he or she who Marilyn Monroe was before sending them here.They guy I work with has never seen any of the Jim Carrey movies.
