No worries, thought I might have got it wrong but not a fan so didn't care. I at least only got Leonard's name wrong and not Neal Yung. ;)

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

There is a track on The Quest which mentions The Beatles, Brian Epstein, Neil Aspinall and others.
I think it's called Mystery Tour but my brain is trying to erase it.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Kind of cute at 1:07, when the singer sings the word "satisfaction," the guitarist plays the riff from the Stone's song.

No mention of Kate Bush's 'Blow Away' yet? The song names several pop musicians who had died too young, such as Minnie Riperton and Sandy Denny
 ."Hello. Minnie
Moony, Vicious Vicious, Buddy Holly Sandy Denny" |

Steven Wilson does it all the time. "Time Flies" lists several bands/albums from the year he was born (1967) music and "Perfect Life" lists "his" (character's) favorite artists in the early 2000s. It's one of the things I find so endearing about Steven's music: He's kind of like a pop/social historian with his little snippets of past and current trends and popular items.
