I was in a cultural abyss last night when I was playing Apples to Apples with a group of people that I didn't know well. (Very different game when you are playing with people that you do know well.) One of the cards was Neil Simon (an author). Most of the people that I was playing the game with thought that he was Neil Diamond. Another person thought that he was Paul Simon. I guess I really take for granted that people know who basic cultural icons are. I was just really surprised that people didn't know.
Maybe I was the only person there that ever listened to an oldies station or watched TV. Or had basic knowledge of popular fiction.

I don't remember that card. I think I may have been out of the room at that time.
It was the next night in a different game, so you didn't miss anything.
