I walked into my early morning Starbucks (5:15am) and heard Prince on the sound system. Pointing up in acknowledgment of the music, I said to the barista, “NICE!”
She replied, “I didn't do it.”
“Don’t you like Prince?”
“Prince who?”
“No, Prince. The artist singing that song.”
“Who’s Prince? Is he like from the 90s?”

“More like the 70s and 80s. Best Super Bowl halftime show ever?”
<blank stares exchanged>
“Should I listen to him?”
“Yes. He’s one of the greatest.”
