Last month, I found out that one of my friends did not know the Stones tongue logo.

Ah. They aren't a very good band, are they? I mean, are they even still together?

Those mentionned several people may rather be said to hold that a long glorious career has produced results that are not equally good. Instead that there are peaks and comparative, for some posters absolute, slumps. A fact which gives rise to discussions that somehow can be seen as an unofficial collective process of establishing, more or less, a canon for the achievements of the Rolling Stones. For there is, of course, disagreement to some degree among posters as to what is very good, good, adequate or not so good.
You maybe disagree about this and consider all equally good. Or it may be an unfair representation of your views. Then you may feel free to state them.

Yeah, and I thought your last message about "several people" was also funny. At least I cannot find anything offensive in it.

Needless to say, it left me 'gobsmacked' and frustrated. I did tell him they are still together and they are VERY GOOD! but he balked and mumble something about someone I had never heard of.
So, after dumping on him for not knowing The Stones, you do the same thing about the music he likes. Ignorance can come in all shapes, sizes, and ages.

If you mean me ""you do the same thing about the music he likes. Ignorance ""
I have been on constant hunt for good music for a long long time...
I know all about and have tried Gaga, Kanye, Snoop, Beiber, Beyounce and he hubby, Jonas, Ke$ha, Mylie, Stafani, Lovato, Wolf Alice, Lame Impala, The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, all those EDM and rap crappers... I give them all a try... and OMPF OOMPF OOMPF and/or some guy screaming spitin rhymes.. or some package pretty girl du jour.... uhm yeah.... It is not ignorance... it is apathy.

Met a kid from Cheltenham. The highly frustrating conversation went as such:
Me: Ah, Cheltenham! The home of Brian Jones!
Kid: Who?
Me: Brian Jones, one of the founders of the Rolling Stones!
Kid: Ah. They aren't a very good band, are they? I mean, are they even still together?
Me: (face palm whilst deciding to smack him upside the head or walk away)
I walked away. My God, the kid doesn't even know one of Cheltenham's most famous offspring. What to do?
Needless to say, it left me 'gobsmacked' and frustrated. I did tell him they are still together and they are VERY GOOD! but he balked and mumble something about someone I had never heard of.
Anyone else ever have these moments? Care to share, hahahah

On the other hand, there's also old-timer's ignorance. They think that there are no good bands anymore these days. Or they think that all rap is crap because all they do is rap about guns and killing each other and they have no talent.
