Shelbyville

Rock the Casbah

So, I'm sitting in the 6th & Main Coffeeshop in Shelbyville, Kentucky this afternoon, trying to catch up on some stuff for church and grade some papers.

They've been playing eighties music the whole afternoon, which I really like since I was in high school from 1982 to 1986.

Earlier when I bought my coffee and a scone, this was the conversation I had with the guy behind the counter (who evidently is younger than me).

ME: "I like that song, 'Rock the Casbah.' It reminds me of a high school dance."

Guy behind the counter: [thinks for a few seconds, listening to the song]: "Yeah, I can picture that. Like in a movie or something."

ME: "No. They used to play that at my high school dances."

Guy behind the counter: [stares]
