The comment was supposed to be reflective of how "ancient" history in music
is unknown to many new listeners, and how now WE are our own parents saying
"You've never heard of Rudy Vallee?" to us m+n years ago.  If you interpreted
that as "EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT, STUPID!", I'd say that's your problem.  Why
didn't you mention the other articles that claimed that the questioner must
have been from another planet?  Or don't they count?
