Oh dear, I don't know who Edie Sedgwick was! Shame on me!

There’s always contention, but the squabbling seems meaner now, both in the sense of nastiness and that of pettiness, and often both at once, with much less humor to make it palatable.

true, dat.

If anybody deserves to be the answer to a question that begins “Who the hell is” it’s Edie Sedgwick.

123

Exactly, sciurophobic. Hell, I cede ground to no one when it comes to 60s and 70s trivia and and I needed a nudge to remember who she was: a sad footnote.

124

Who are all you people?

I’ve spent the last hour thinking about Edie Sedgwick and now I don’t know where I am.

125

Who the hell is Cecil Adams?

I guess I shouldn’t even read in the pit because when I read the thread I thought it was good natured kidding by both RickJay & Lissener.
RickJay posted “Who the hell is Edie Sedgwick.”

I thought it was sort of funny.

When lissener posted “sometimes this board is too depressing”

I thought he was joking about the posters age or making him feel old.

One wonders how much worse this thread would have been if the question was, “Who the hell is Andy Warhol?”

Even worse:

Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe? Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?
Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe? Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?
Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe? Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?
Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe? Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?
Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe? Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?

Holy shit! I didn’t know who Edie Sedgwick was! I mean, EDIE SEDGWICK! You know, the socialite and heiress who died of a drug overdose in 1971 and appeared in a few Andy Warhol short filks before she really got into the pills and the booze!

Everyone knows who Edie Sedgwick is! I mean, it’s like not knowing who Clark Gable or Katharine Hepburn are! (By “Everyone” I mean “Very few people.”)

Never heard of her. I am quite well read, watch movies and TV, read the newspaper every day, and I am a “baby-boomer”.
