I'm watching GMA and they're talking about the Super Bowl halftime show. Bruno Mars? I didn't know that was a person. I've heard the name before but had no idea they weren't just words and instead the name of a person.

I'm still traveling at a mere mile a minute in a nanosecond world.
 

I have one of his songs on mp3 called 'Count on Me' It's a nice song ...

Does it bother you? Do you really want to keep up in a world where the minute you buy something...it has already become a has been or depreciated? I used to love to order subscriptions to magazines, but now I don't like them to much as every month they are telling you to change your decor, etc. What was in last month is not in this month. And the recipes they share for the most part now days have so many ingredients it would take my whole food budget just to try that recipe...plus it calls for so many ingredients I will never use again. As for music now days, so much of it doesn't interest me at all. I do not have a smart phone and don't want one or the expense of it. I love my laptop and it works fine for me for keeping up with things on the internet. I may not be hip or whatever they call it now days....but I'm happy and don't have half the expense everyone who is trying to keep up with what the world says we need. I like simple and I'm not going to buy into anything that doesn't have meaning for me.
 
Yeah really..if you're comfortable in your zone..who cares. It's hard to keep up with actors anymore because the industry changed. The days of the glamour stars with long standing studio contracts are gone, so you have lots of actresses & actors ran past you at a much much faster rate. Same thing with music.
I've never been interesting in keeping up with the latest fashions ..even when I was young, so I've never had a clue there.
 
There are a lot of musicians past and present whose names I wouldn't recognize, none of which bother me, however, yes, I know who Bruno Mars is and many of the musicians that they often feature at these major events, but, if I don't or if I don't know who they are I might or might not look them up depending on my mood. :D But, no need to keep up with anything if it's not what one cares to do, neither good nor bad if one stays current with such things, unless, you need to for a variety of reasons.
 
I don't know who a lot of the new celebrities are either, and I don't care and eventually find out, if much later. When I was in high school and even a little beyond I wanted to be in with the latest fashion and music trends but now I see it don't matter at all. Keeping up with the day's news usually keeps one current anyway, which I think is a good idea, but there's only so much I can take it before it all seems boring and repetitive.
 
I thought Bruno Mars was a men's cologne ....

I only heard of him because of working in a club several years ago. Can't say I remember anything he did ... I'm more a '70's kind of guy.
