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.

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.

Ha! I had no idea. I just assumed he'd think any "best of" must be a band's best record.

Thoughtful longish piece on the evolution of being a punk fan: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021 ... -time-punk

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.
