[brooklynboy49]

16. Damn

I appear to be one of the few who know who he is. And I'm not exactly hip when it comes to contemporary mainstream music.

Didn't they (Red Hot Chili Peppers) recently do the Super Bowl half-time show?

I thought I was an uncool, unhip dinosaur until I saw the replies in this thread and realized that I *am* unhip and uncool, but that I'm not alone
