By Doug on January 29th, 2010So, there’s this new guy at work. Well, he’s been here a few months but I didn’t actually have a conversation with him until today and I really only talked to him because we happened to be going to the fridge at the same time. He’s the new guy at work the same way my ’99 Honda Accord was new to me when I bought in 2005. It doesn’t really matter, does it?
Anyways, we exchanged polite pleasantries and it eventually evolved into us shooting the shit and he brought up how he’s this huge music fan and he wanted to know what all I listened to. I brought up how I’m a big Nirvana fan and the conversation evolved to talking about 80s bands like Motley Crue and Van Halen. The 70s were next and I mentioned that Zeppelin is possibly my favorite band ever.
Things were going good and I was thinking to myself how this guy could be someone I could hang out with again possibly outside of work blah, blah, blah. I then mentioned how I sort of like Pink Floyd and he responded, “I love Pink Floyd. That guy’s so talented.”
Yes, he thinks Pink Floyd is one person and not a band. What am I supposed to do with that? Well, I mean, it’s besides the point now because as soon as I realized I had heard what I thought I had heard, I got the fuck out of there. But, is it my responsibility to correct him on this? It’s kind of past the point at this point.
And now, every time I see this asshole I’m going to think to myself, “This asshole thinks Pink Floyd is a single person. What an asshole.”
