Random Facts

Sometimes there are things that I feel like I want to share that really have no context, so we're just going to call them Random Facts about me and leave it at that.

Today, for some reason, this one popped into my head. I can't remember at this point if it was an article that I read or being forced to listen to some Rush yesterday, but whatever it was made this come to mind and I can't help but laugh at myself.

When I was a kid, I heard people talk about prog rock. I didn't know what it was because I didn't really care. Music was music - I didn't quite grasp the genres and all that. I just liked most of what I heard because I was a kid and probably had more important things to do, like make mud pies or collect beer bottle caps.

Anyway, I never saw the words "prog rock," I only heard them. In my tiny little mind, I thought they were talking about Prague rock. As in rock music from Prague. Makes sense, right?

I don't know if I should be proud of myself for knowing that Prague was a thing (or a place, really) or if I should be embarassed because I didn't understand that it was prog and short for progressive. I didn't care then, but now it makes me laugh.

So there you go. A random fact about yours truly. Hopefully it's somewhat funny to you too.
