A few months ago I mentioned how my ex had called me on the phone one day wanting to know if I'd heard that Bob Marley had died, to which I had to reply that yes, I'd heard that 30 years previously.
I had dinner with her tonight and she was talking about these two guys she works with who are very vocal about their hip musical tastes and equally vocal in making fun of her for being very out of touch music-wise, which is fair enough - just a couple of weeks ago she asked me if I'd heard of this Lady Gaga.
But anyhow, today she walked into their cubicle and they were listening to something that she really liked and she said "Oh wow! I thought you guys would be too cool to listen to Loggins and Messina!"
To which they replied, somewhat appalled, Holy Shit no!!! it wasn't Loggins and Messina. It was a band whose name had an animal in it or something. They had recently flown to Chicago to see them. She couldn't remember the name.
"Grizzly Bear?" I asked.
Maybe, but that didn't seem quite right.
"Fleet Foxes?"
That's it!!!
She said she persisted in telling them that she really liked how these Funny Foxes sounded because they sounded just like Loggins and Messina. She didn't understand why that seemed to upset the two co-workers so much.

"Funny Foxes" ... jeez, I love that.
One of my wife's best friends has rather weak taste in music ... although if you spoke with her, she'd probably say she has great interest in it. For example, she sets up her weeknight schedule to make sure she won't miss a single airing of American Idol.
Anyway, a few years ago, she & her husband were at a dinner party with us, and (in front of all the guests) she mentioned this interesting new band she'd heard on the radio: "They were called Dead Girl On The Bus, or something like that."
