Discussion of anything with the very young and very old can be tremendously frustrating. The idiocy is mind boggling. Yet they are driving society.

Yeah but what got him famous is being a boxer and without his fame as a boxer he'd never get the grilling gig.

i asked a friend if he knew why the liquor was named "pink whitney" and he went on this super-confident schpiel about something called "whitney enzymes used in the process", just a complete bullshit show.

i was like "no dude, its a hockey player. notice how the label has hockey stuff all over it?"

Do they still sell Foreman Grills?

If I asked my kids (13 and 15) who George Foreman is, I don't even think they would know who he is.

And we own a Foreman Grill.

Just remember, we used to be those idiots.

And when you say "Nah, we weren't that bad" Yes. Yes we were.

His grills are bad. It dries up the meat so bad it's like eating sand. I never get why they're so popular

I'm sure there are plenty of people that were famous the generation before you that you might not have even heard of. Times change man.

It was 20 years ago when I brought up Jethro Tull and some kid said, "Who?".

You get used to it.

:) Look them up. they're amazing.

It's funny remembering this, though. I can remember decades ago telling my dad who the performers in the halftime show were and now neither of us know unless I look them up on my smartphone. Usually.

Jethro Tull is great! Love me some rock flute. As for Foreman, it's not surprising, boxing is a niche sport, and has been for a couple decades now.

There are young people where I work who never knew Will Smith was a musician. The song "Parents Just Don't Understand" played on our music station at work and they didn't believe he did it.
