There’s pop good and not pop good, and no matter how good not pop good is, Heston will not like it and I don’t expect otherwise.

I'd had a joint. No one can say I didn't try.

I do like music other than pop but I have no time for repeated passages that go on for 18 minutes.

Okay you made the minimal effort, you're free to go.

Hello,
Pink Floyd is more pot music than beer music. Not many say "Hey, let's buy a couple of six-packs and throw The Wall on"; however, I'd say it's more common to hear "Let's fire up a couple of joints and listen to The Wall."

The really clever part of the joke is Best of the Beatles is a Pete Best cash in from, I think, the seventies, that we can imagine Alan buying and thinking was the band.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Sep 2021, 6:26pmI think I'd have to say The Best of Pink Floyd. /alanpartridge

Ha! I had no idea. I just assumed he'd think any "best of" must be a band's best record.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Sep 2021, 5:00amThe really clever part of the joke is Best of the Beatles is a Pete Best cash in from, I think, the seventies, that we can imagine Alan buying and thinking was the band.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Sep 2021, 6:26pmI think I'd have to say The Best of Pink Floyd. /alanpartridge

I suspect a lot of us here will recognize themselves in the various stages of the author's development. Pretty sure I'll be assigning this as an introductory reading.
