News: Kids Don't Know Who the Beatles Were

I admit, it's possible to make a video demonstrating ignorance about any topic -- just go ask people stuff on the street until you get enough "dumb" answers, and away you go. But I thought this video was kind of fun and bizarre: it shows kids on the street who don't seem to have any knowledge of The Beatles. Like, these people can't even name a single song by The Beatles. Okay, pop quiz, how many Beatles songs can you name? I can get to ten real quick.

My favorite part is when two kids point to John Legend as being a member of the band. Um. John Legend is 32, and recently released an album with The Roots. Those guys almost certainly know who John Legend is. Oh well. Enjoy!
