Yes it's true I actually met someone this week who asked me what the Rolling Stones were and I should further add that this person was not a kid but an English adult.

I was once an editor of a dictionary and I used this concept
to exemplify the expression "what planet are you from"

would the people who never heard of the Stones know the name "Mick Jagger" as opposed to "The Rolling Stones"?

In my home area of S.W. London ,where most people or kids over the age of 12 have heard of ,or like The Rolling Stones, it's hard to believe.

Let's face it, China , DPRK and a couple of other countries, until recently have not had so many fans who would love to see The Rolling Stones live.

Times are changing though. thumbs up

I had a something similar last week, in that I went into my local John Lewis store for a Sonos demo. The young man in the store proceeded to highlight the sound quality of the item by playing me some (c)rap. His logic was that some of the best poets are (c)rappers. I begged to differ, and changed the music to Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, to which he said 'What is this?". I retorted with "A poet".

People who have never heard of the stones are not my kind of people.
And people who never listened to THE ROLLING STONES are not my kind of people.
In fact everybody who don't LOVE THE ROLLING STONES are not people.

I think most adults know of the Stones, but I don't know as the same can be said now for youngsters...though they do know the Beatles.

That's the equivalent of playing something from 1915 to a young man in 1965 who liked bob dylan.

Mick spent a week in a remote Indian village about 10 years ago to explore some nearby ruins, and he said nobody recognized him for about five days, after which he rounded a corner when a busload of teachers from Mumbai were unloading and they all recognized him. He said it was a shock to be suddenly famous again. (I read this in—I think—MOJO.)

Yes, but I also worked with someone who didn't know who Waylon Jennings was: I didn't speak to him as a result.

I was talking with a 22-year old girl from our office about music lately. She's listening to metal and actually going to lots of shows.
When I told her that the next concert I have tickets for was for U2, she didn't know them.
I always thought that everybody in the western world would at least know the names of bands / musicians like U2, Stones, Springsteen . I mean they are all over the news when they release a new record or go on tour. strange world we live in.
