And While We're Talking About Music...
And While We’re Talking About Music… – Susan was trying to pull the name of a country artist out of her head tonight. With it on the tip of her tongue, she was prodding me to help her with the name…
“You know, the country guy who wears a hat because he’s losing his hair.”
“Dwight Yoakum?”
“No.”
“Garth Brooks?”
“No.”
“Clint Black?”
“No.”
“Well, that’s kind of like saying, ’you know, the soldier who was wearing a helmet to protect his head…’”
She went over to my computer, typed something into Google, and in 0.5 seconds said, “George Strait.”
“What did you search for?”
“Pure Country”
“What did we do before we had Google to function as our brain annex?”
“We waited two or three days and then at a random moment shouted out, ’George Strait!’”

Our brain annex, yes. Also our national archives. I'm betting that you didn't think to type "Pinky Lee" or "Howdy Doody" into a google search box. You wouldn't believe the fun I had last week downloading actual Clarabell the Clown videos.
