not knowing reggae was a form of music...
 

is it funny/weird to anyone else that this guy at work, 19 years old, had NEVER heard of reggae and had no clue who bob marley was?

say what you want about the aforementioned artist and/or genre, but that's just something that's, i dunno, known.

my brain hurts.

lol.

What a lucky guy.

WINNAR

:rofl:

maybe he's an amish on rumspringa

even worse. This one girl at work didn't know who John Lennon was or has ever heard the song Imagine!

I asked him if he knew who JL was and he actually said yeah. but he hesitated.

solid.

that makes me want to cry

Get this.

i worked at a record store for 5 years. in my final year there they stopped hiring people who knew music well, and just hired anybody in high school it seemed like. (new mgmnt thought the younger the employee, the more impressionable they were. they said this.) anyways, i was at the work station one day with this one 17 year old girl we had hired recently, when a 30ish man walked up and asked "where is the led zeppelin?"

she stared at hime blankly and waked up to the computer and asked him

"i don't know. how do you spell his last name?"

i wanted to cry. then i showed the guy where the zep was and wanted to cry some more. i think he did too.

nice sig :)

when tinnitus, sleep deprevation and depression turned my brain into a worthless spungelike mound of flesh i started to appriciate raggae. now that i'm feeling better again, i'm bored to death with it.

i give credit where credit is due.

too bad you've ruined him.

i hate led zeppelin and i hate the people who admit them as an important part of music. "widda pashon" as the great DeNiro might say.

but you've at least heard of them, right?

what is reggae? is it one of their albums?
