Who are these people?

Perry Como reminds them of Epstein?

So yeah, I think there's a generational disconnect here.

I'm a "Millenial" conservative- I'm in my thirties.

I've heard the name Perry Como, but that is 100% of my familiarity with him- he's just a name to me, and I have no familiarity with his appearance or even what made him a celebrity in his time. Per Wikipedia, his career started further before my birth than my current age, and and ended before I was born.

The photo does kinda resemble Epstein, and the signature is basically illegible, as many are.

No, I'm not defending people making a 'cancel' style fuss, but I think all the older folks here on FR would do well to stop and remember at times that their cultural knowledge and experiences are not universal.

You guys have people you consider celebrities that I'm completely unfamiliar with, and vice versa. And that situation is only going to get worse as time marches on...

The average age of people in the United States is 38. Perry Como (according to that same article) basically reduced his work to holiday specials starting in 1967. That's 57 years ago. His career started in 1932- 92 freakin' years ago.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but he probably hasn't been a 'household name' for decades. So rage all you want that people aren't familiar with him, but it just is what it is.

I'm going to say it again- the guy effectively retired from anything but holiday specials 20 years before most people alive today were even born- of course us 'younger' people aren't familiar with him.
