Buffet and the Beatles...

A conversation that I just overheard between the 10th graders and their biology teacher...

Student: What kind of music do you like?
Teacher: I listen to Jimmy Buffet...
S: Who's Jimmy Buffet?
T: Really??! You don't who Jimmy Buffet is?? [Sings clips from various songs; students still look confused.]
S: -Nope.
-We're young!
-I was born in 1993!
T: Jimmy Buffet's been around since the 60's; he's like an American icon--I can't believe you've never heard of him!
S: No, he's not an American icon--the Beatles were an American icon!
T: The Beatles were British!!
