Zachnorn 06/29/17 1:37:37 PM #6:	Has he heard of Queen? I don't think it's too big of a deal to know of a band but not their lead vocalist. Maybe he wasn't a fan.

KujikawaRising 06/29/17 1:41:56 PM #8:	Queen seemed to stir his memory a bit, so I'd think he'd heard of the band. Was like "Oh, okay." So maybe he wasn't big on them back when he was in his 20s (which would coincide with their popularity). But this is Freddie Fucking Mercury we're talking about. Queen was one of the only bands ever to be blessed with a demigod vocalist.

Anyone old enough to be your dad should revoke their dad card if they haven't heard of Freddie Mercury. Yeah, if this was a 22 y/o, I'd understand it. But my dad was in college when Bohemian Rhapsody was ripping up the charts. I don't understand how he couldn't know. As for modern music, I expect everyone to have heard of Adele and T-Swift because of just how often one hears their music in the most random of places. And probably Justin Dweeber because of how often the news rags report what trouble he gets himself into. But anyone else?
