Assuming they are familiar with American culture. This IS an international forum remember.

Sorry if I'm getting under anyones nose, I just hate reading posts from U.S. posters that assume "everyone" is in on American culture and events, or that "everyone" is indeed all U.S. internet users.

Just a pet hate of mine. Disregard if it offends you

Caleb, I am not everyone. I heard of him in the late eighties and since then haven't seen sight nor sound of him - despite being in the music industry. There are many young Aussie musos who may well have not heard of him for example.

(sigh) Caleb, we are a small minority of like minded folkes that hardly represent a true crossection of the world. If we polled everyone here, the huge majority would answer that they have played Baldurs Gate. Does this mean "everyone" has played BG? Only one percent of the world own a computer for crying out loud! Whether or not someone answers on this board that they haven't is irrelevant. Try and view things from a slightly bigger perspective. The U.S. internet community is not "everyone".

The odds are those who haven't heard of Al Yankovic wouldn't even pop in here!

I have heard of Al Yankovic, but like Yorick, it has been many many years, since the 80's. I have not seen nor heard anything from him recently. If you want to hear funny spoofs on popular songs, go to www.twistedtunes.com

I could care less about a kalahari bushman with a laptop

I see what you mean yorick but the starter of this topic was pretty much only asking the members of this forum cause who else can reply but MEMBERS. So I didnt mean the entire population of africa is jamming out to its all about the pentiums but that anyone that uses this forum has at least heard of him.
