In another showcase of Pink Floyd popularity, I was out shopping when I saw a guy who looked about in his 70's wearing a Dark Side of the Moon T-shirt (with the prism rainbow album cover). A little later in the same department store I saw a little girl about 5 shopping with her parents. The girl was wearing the same T-shirt.
I’m a pediatrician and see 80-100 kids a week. I’m always very excited to see kids that come to their appointments wearing band t-shirts. Nirvana, AC/DC and The Beatles are by far the most common but I see many other band shirts.
At some point during the visit I always ask about the shirt. Ask if they like the band.
About 25% know and like the band. The other 75% just like the shirt or say their parent likes the band.
Just last week I walked into the exam room to see a 13 year old girl for her yearly well checkup. She was wearing a Cars’ t-shirt with their debut album cover on it.
As I started the physical exam I asked her if she was a Cars fan. She said yes. Her dad then asked me “can you name all the band members?”
I came up with Ocasek and Orr right away but admitted I had know idea about the others. She quickly listed off the other three.
A true fan.
