I feel for you.

I have a friend in the UK who has no idea who he is. I even mentioned Daylight Katy (didn't that get some airplay over there when it came out?) and Sundown, but no go.
Of course, a lot of times, I get the same thing here.
But to be around me, in my house or in my car, is to hear GL. They get immersed, willingly or unwillingly, it's all the same to me. As long as I have my music.
