In 1986, something came up in class, and honest to God, some boy asked me in all seriousness with no sense of irony whatsoever, "Wasn't Paul McCartney in another group before he was a Wing?"
I remember saying he was in a little group called the Beatles.
In 1990 I was teaching 8th graders and we were on an overnight trip to Washington, DC (this is when I was young and stupid and would sign up for such things). Some of the kids would bring a Walkman to listen to music on the bus. One of them came over to us teachers on the bus and said, "You have to listen to this great new group!" It was a Beatles tape.
