Some things go in one ear and right out the other. I know all of those names, but if you pop this quiz on me again next week, I will still score zero. : > Same thing with jokes; I will remember someone telling me the joke before, but do not know how it ends (they say "did I tell ya the one about.." and I say, "yeah, but tell me again..."). This has nothing to do with a head injury in 1998; prior to, if I heard the first notes of a tune, I could instantly name the title and artist. So it is not lack of listening to the radio and I used to subscribe to Rolling Stone mag, it is simply not remembering.
