At this point, I'm starting to think Beatoff might not even be real.

Estimation has nothing to do with fame

It is the very definition of fame.

Don’t bother with the rest. I’m no longer interested.

No age is perfect, but I find older people to be more like two-legged nostalgia machines who often irritate the crap out of me - not usually younger people.

How does a link to a video that I posted lead to people arguing about whether or not 20 year olds even know anything about the Beatles?

(Newsflash: Peoples taste are a lot more varied than that, so it's not fair to generalize a certain age group as not knowing about the Beatles or anything like that.)
