Falling further out of the loop

[steve B]

While I don't really have the sort of encyclopedic memory some have, I have always liked stuff that's older. I was talking about music with one guy I almost ended up having a card shop with, and after a few minutes he said he had just realized I was too young to know the 60's bands I did, and the songs.
I told him that's what records are for

We got along pretty well, I would have gone into running the shop, but the guy who was there decided not to go back to teaching. Long term, it worked out well, I was almost certainly not ready back then.

'Tweren't a trivia quiz, Barry, but nice goin'. We were just adding to the list of "what hump?" / Frau Blucher / Lily von Schtupp references...

We once worked with an editor -- and this was fifteen, almost twenty years ago -- an editor who didn't recognize the names "Perry Mason"
and "Godzilla." We're paraphrasing clumsily here, but the great Leslie Fiedler said something to the effect of "pop culture is the only real culture."
