Tonight one of the questions on the show "Do You Want To Be a Millionaire?" was, What song is played every Thanksgiving in order to commemorate something that happed in 1965 The answer choices were Alicies Restaurant, Leaving on A Jetplane, American Pie, and one other choice.
The contestant got it wrong!!!

I saw it too and I thought "How can this person NOT know the answer?" Was the wrong guess because PIE was in the choice?

I would have been surprised 3 weeks ago, but I'm not now. I work for a very large Hospital/medical organization, and I live within 2 hours of San Fransisco. (less if wasn't for traffic). You know, that place where a lot of hippies used to hang out doin acid before they became State politicians in suits?

I'd been going crazy with excitement that I was going to get to see Arlo for the first time on April 10th. Only about 1 out every 5 people I told (and I told quite a few, bein that I'm so shy and all.) knew who Arlo is.

I was stunned. I would just look at them at first, like when your dog hears ya make a funny noise, with my head cocked sideways and with that "what was that" look on my face for a few moments. Then I went to just shaking my head, lookin' at people like they was 'ignrnt' and telling them, with a look of pity that they needed to become more knowledgeable regarding their own culture and national heritage. I would then refer them to youtube. (Cause everybody knows that the most educated people in thee United States of Ameraca get most of our knowledge from youtube. Weren't non of em that didn't know what youtube was even if they'd never been there before.)

Hopefully, some felt ashamed of themselves and took my advise. If so, we should be growin a nice new crop of Arlo fanatics here in Sacramento. My kids are only 21 and 26 and I had to borrow their Arol's Greatest Hits so I could put Alice's Restaurant on my nano pod!
