Meryl Streep. Everyone talks about how legendary she is but I just checked her IMDB resume and it consists of a bunch of films I’ve never heard of or have no interest in whatsoever. The only exception was Adaptation, which I did see, but don’t even remember her in it so there.
Frank & Moonunit’s single “Valley Girl” made the US Top 40. If you were alive and awake in the 80’s you probably couldn’t have avoided it if you tried.
I couldn’t care less and have never ever cared enough to experience:
That guy who bit the head off a bat (yes I could look him up, but, nah.)
Any heavy metal bad from the 80’s, 90’s or now, including Zepplin, Poison, Ratt, etc. If they had any crossover hits, I might be familiar with the song more than the band. Maybe the only one I remember at all is Quiet Riot, but they’re considered one hit wonders today.
Jim Hendrix
Doors (I don’t like mumbled songs)
Never seen any Humphrey Bogart film, haven’t seen any of The Godfathers, I’ve never heard an Abba song (that I know of), I have never watched a reality TV show of any kind, I have literally no idea who is who or what in politics and I know little of what’s happening in the outside world by way of news (I hear about celebrities dying either from Facebook or on here…if I didn’t go to ether site, I’d be unaware of any major news stories).
But I didn’t stop listening to new stuff at the end of the 60’s. Even if my own tastes tended toward World Music or Americana (before those genres were named), reading Creem for the quality of the writers kept me up with the louder bands. (Note to self: Self, try tuning Rhapsody.com & Pandora.com to some of the more newfangled stuff. And spend a bit of time on the cable music shows. I like Lady Gaga’s image, even if her music hasn’t made much of an impression.)
Who have I not seen in movies? Don’t think I’ve watched a Lillian Gish film all the way through…
I’ve got you all beat. I’ve never watched a movie or listened to a song in my life, nor do I want to, and I’m proud of it! I’m superior to everyone in the world except Helen Keller!! Bwa ha ha ha!!!
