it's amazing that people don't pick stuff up just from watching tv. one time my mom went into a music store and asked about an Elvis dvd and the young guy was confused.
' you mean Elvis Costello?'
back in the 90s there was a baseball player named Jay Bell. he was being interviewed once and mentioned the 1950s show Home Run derby that ESPN was rerunning. he talked about a great Yankee player he had seen.
Interviewer: 'you mean Mickey Mantle?'
Bell: 'yeah, that was his name!"
