I recently, quite mischievously, dug into a work colleague because he didn't know who Flavor Flav was. This guy is about 25, in a band (album recorded, pop-rock, available on lastFM) and quite opinionated, cocky even.
When I explained, rather patronisingly, that Mr Flav was an American rapper with a scary clock in the seminal 80s Long Island outfit Public Enemy; the boy looked back at me nonplussed.
I said to him, "You don't really know much about popular culture, especially for someone in a band", he replied, "Well what I call culture is like, Shakespeare, Mozart. Really."
It was the knock-out punch. I called to my corner, flailing around, "The towel, throw in the towel."
