Have no idea who he is nor heard of The Kinks, but I actually recognize a couple songs by title. So in his honor I'll be sad today.

To be fair, Alex has established that he is musically ignorant, so it's not really a function of age.

I sometimes suspect that Alex is an android. It would explain a lot.

Alex · 06-25-2010, 10:11 AM

Correct. I'm equally ignorant (and in fact probably more so since "oldies" were my primary form of musical "white noise" consumption when I was a teenager) of the music of the '90s.

And while I generally recognize popular music when I hear it, I almost never know who's singing (and when it is a band who is in the band unless the band is named after them).

After all, I was probably the only college student in Seattle who first learned of Kirk Cobain's existence when he killed himself and everyone else went into convulsive shock.

Ghoulish Delight · 06-25-2010, 10:12 AM

Correct? So you ARE an android?

Alex · 06-25-2010, 10:15 AM

Yes, it is the only explanation for why JWBear's disdain doesn't hurt my feelings. I have none. And as Oliver Sachs has written well on, it is musical wiring that makes us human. Since I apparently have none there are limited logical conclusions to be drawn.

And thus, yet another contender fails the Turing test.
