The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Love them or hate them, it still seems odd to me that someone in their 20s or 30s has never heard the album before.

I told a car saleswoman (mid-20s) we wanted to buy the car to drive to San Francisco. She asked what the trip was for.

I said. 'To see Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana play at the new Chase Center.'

'Who are they,' she asked.

Sigh....

Sure, they aren't the Beatles, but when I was mid 20s I knew the major artists of the 40s 50s

Of course, we did not have the world wide web of global information competing for our attention.
