Sometimes, time goes by way too fast. Case in point?

 It's almost impossible to believe that this movie came out 30 years ago. It's as prescient and funny today as it was then... 

... 

Garth: “You ever get the feeling that Benjamin is not one of us?” 

Wayne: “Good call. It’s as if Benjamin wants us to be liked by everyone. I mean, Led Zeppelin didn’t write tunes that everyone liked. They left that to the Bee Gees.”
... 

Thirty years later, that exchange in Wayne’s World seems 
both righteous and quaint, a cultural relic from a time when 
battle lines were drawn more sharply between independents 
and mainstream “sellouts”. 
After all, young 'adults' of today have more consequential 
things to worry about than whether their favorite indie band 
signed to a major label. You know, like when are their parents 
gonna die so they don't have to work for a living. 
But as Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey), the hosts 
of a freewheeling cable access hit in suburban Illinois, 
fret about Benjamin (Rob Lowe), 
the corporate slickster imposing changes on the show, 
the point still stands. 
Not all art needs to have universal 
appeal. Nor does stupid nonsense.
... 

... 

Wanna watch the movie again? It won't show up here 
on the blog because they don't allow cross-posting 
with their movies, but here's the direct link to watch it 
for free on YouTube:

Have a birthday, an anniversary or some
 other special occasion that calls for a gift?
