"What song is that?"
"Oh, that's Good Stuff. It's by the B-52s."
"I like the B-52s."
"I know you do. Can you name anyone in the B-52s?"
"Um ... Kate Pierson."
"Good boy."

When he can name the Buggles, *that* will be an impressive day.
"And after the Buggles, Geoff Downes went on to be in WHAT band?"
"Yes!"
"No, that's a trick question. The Buggles hadn't actually broken up when they were absorbed into Yes, and Trevor Horn recorded another Buggles album with limited participation from Downes. So I'll ask again, what band did Downes join after the Buggles -- and after Yes?"
"Um ... Asia!"
"That's my boy."
"Can I hear Elmo now?"
As the good book says, bring a child up in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not stray from it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
