Davey Jones, lead singer of the Monkees, died last week at the age of 66. If you're under the age of, say, 35, there's a good chance that you don't care. Heck, I'm 47, and beyond the general tenet of humanity that compells us to not feel celebratory that someone has died, I don't care much. The Monkees were a bit before my time, and my introduction them was via a cameo by Davey on the Brady Bunch. Oddly enough, Jimi Hendrix's first American tour was opening for the Monkees.

Anyway, plenty of people have no idea who the heck Davey Jones is... was.

Then again, I kept hearing about some 'dude' named Taylor Swift who was tearing it up in the world of country. I was a bit shocked to discover that 'he' was a 'her'.

On that note, my buddy and I were all stoked to watch one of the late night talk shows a few years ago because some "really hot sounding chick" named Shia LeBouf was gonna be interviewed. We figured that with a name like Shia LeBouf, she must be a Victoria's Secret model or something similar. Lucky for us, someone emailed us to let us know that 'she' was a he.

Clearly, I'm not bragging here, but it leads to today's question: I MAY HAVE BEEN THE LAST PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHO ___________ WAS.

You might be.... I'm younger than you and knew who he was.

Did you know The Monkees actually outsold the Beatles and The Rolling Stones at one point in time

I MAY HAVE BEEN THE LAST PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHO JUSTIN BIEBER WAS.

AND, WHEN I FINALLY HEARD OF HIM, I THOUGHT HIS NAME WAS "BEAVER" FOR THE LONGEST TIME.

That Santa Claus' real name was Chris Kringle.

And judging from your first sentence, you still don't know who he is, or atleast his last name

Too much baseball watching, Glenn?

Yep. I fixed it.

Well, as one of the resident "Old Farts" I know who Davy Jones, Jemi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jim Croce and a host of others were. These days I primarily listen to C&W, so I've not taken the opportunity, until recently, to listen to such talents as Lady Gaga and Adele. Adele is a fantastic talent, as is Lady Gaga if you can block her outrageous outfits out of your mind.

I will refrain from posting my opinion of Taylor Swift.

Lets see just found out this year, who and what Snooki is. I honestly thought she was one of Paris Hiltons dogs. Oddly enough there is a resemblance IMO.

I didn't know that the band Hanson were really guys until about four years after their first album came out. I just thought the were hideous girls.

There's plenty of others as well. I have a rotten time remembering celebrities, or knowing who they are.

Who's Snooki?

Who's Snooki?

It's a strange creature that makes wierd yelping noises, almost as if it were in pain.

Don't forget Arthur Godfrey, too!!!!!!

Ed Freeman. Google him fellas. When I read about his passing and his story I was kind of ashamed. An American hero I never heard of. And there's many more like him.
