>>Worse than that (could it be worse than not remembering Lennon?) is that they probably can't find Viet Nam on a map, identify the capital of half the U.S. states (or anyl the world's nations), recall who the second president os the U.S. was...

>>Is Smashing Pumpkins their halloween activity of choice?


I hate to bring up the whole Canada vs. USA but truly I can't identify the capitals of all or any US states, or identify their past presidents. But I can find Viet Nam on a map, and I do know who the Beatles are.
PS. I'm a "The Smashing Pumpkins" fan, and in their case, "smashing" is not a verb; it's an adjective.
