A manager at one of my previous jobs held a meeting, where he announced some company restructuring. He started comparing the changes to the paths members of The English Beat took after the band ended. He dropped the reference, however, upon seeing so many blank faces. I wanted to say, "No, go on. I used to play that band's music on the air in college, and I get the reference."
For the sake of the meeting, it was probably best that he abandoned the analogy. For the sake of music snobs, however...
