Random teen memories

When I was seventeen and traveling with the family, we once had dinner at a restaurant where two guys played a cover of Simon and Garfunkel The boxer. It so happened that earlier that year I had just seen the two guys on TV, playing a cover of The boxer. Still a pretty remarkable coincidence. And the reason I know that song.

The summer I was sixteen, I once traveled on a train and saw a guy who looked cool and who read newsweek. So I thought my  grandparents read the local newspaper, mom and dad read national newspapers, when I grow up I will read newsweek. Nice linear thinking from a time we believed in international collaboration. And therefore it was easy to believe we, under leadership from the English speaking world, should all be global citizens. So heres a Newsweek article: Mainstream media attacking Joe Rogan instead of admitting its own failures.
