I hope this thread isn’t too old to bump. But I was today years old when I finally looked up the lyrics to Cream’s White Room and found out that it’s

_Platform ticket_, restless diesels, goodbye windows

I always wondered who “that one dickhead” was.

Not precisely on topic, but what the heck.

The television was on yesterday as background noise. I heard about folks protesting “a tax on Asians”.

WTF?, I thought. As my brain tried to get a handle on that sentence I came to realize it was “attacks on Asians”.
