But what was with the cheerleaders for Smells Like Nirvana

There are cheerleaders in the Nirvana Smells like Teen Spirit video.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Ah. That would explain it. I've never seen the video.

The Yoda Chant punishes.

Yes. Yes, it does.

After the show we went to an 80s themed bar. I had on my regular clothes -- a blousey, animal-print, slightly off the shoulder top, a pair of black "skinny" jeans, and high heels styled to look like Chuck Taylor low-tops. I saw a gaggle of college-girl types dressed like Cyndi Lauper wannabes and realized that I had dressed on-theme by accident.

Pedro was totally shocked at how many 80s pop songs I knew by heart that he had only heard once or twice. I guess he didn't believe me when I told him I got a wider slice of the 80s than most people my age because I was paying attention to what my teen brother and cousins were doing.

Thinking back to the show, I sort of feel like I'm caught up on pop culture now because I've seen it get picked on. Pedro had to explain what "TMZ" was. But of course I totally loved seeing the old stuff. We noted last night that Al has outlasted many artists he's parodied, including REM.

then and now

How funny is it that the Mad editors mention that the difference between the pictures is that Al wasn't plugging his CD in Mad in '93 but don't mention the other difference is that Mad didn't start running ads until 2001.
