@TheEvilDog:
I shall be shuttling between Corcaigh and Baile Atha Cliath in a few weeks time. Which way was it again in the old cartoon? The horse is drinking from a barrel of Guinness while pissing into a barrel of Murphy's? Or the other way around? With a view of trying not to provoke a violent reaction from the locals?
Jabberwocky:
1984 was the best year for music. *shakes old geezer fist*
Also, Angus' comment in the last panel makes me a little sad. R.I.P. George Carlin and Mitch Hedberg. :cry:
mike837go:
1975!
A Night At The Opera! Has NEVER been topped!

--- Quote from: Aegir on 06 May 2011, 07:36 --- I wonder how old Faye is supposed to be. I think the self-referential joke in 1920 is that Jeph was in his late teens in 1997, but I feel like Faye's supposed to be younger than 30.
--- End quote ---
Faye was 24, same age as Marten, at the start of the strip. So she's probably about 25 now.
This means that her musical tastes became fixed when she was about 11. :|
And unless her town in Georgia had an awesome alt-rock station that really brought in the pre-teens, the music from 1997 that she was actually listening to is more like:
1. Candle in the Wind, Elton John
2. Foolish Games/You Were Meant for Me, Jewel
3. I'll Be Missing You, Puff Daddy and Faith Evans
4. Un-Break My Heart, Toni Braxton
5. Can't Nobody Hold Me Down, Puff Daddy
6. I Believe I Can Fly, R. Kelly
7. Don't Let Go (Love), En Vogue
8. Return of the Mack, Mark Morrison
9. How Do I Live, LeAnn Rimes
10. Wannabe, Spice Girls
11. Quit Playing Games (With My Heart), Backstreet Boys
12. MMMBop, Hanson
13. For You I Will, Monica
14. You Make Me Wanna..., Usher
15. Bitch, Meredith Brooks
Yeah, not a lot of alt-rockin' on the airwaves going on then.
pwhodges:
If QC started in the present (then), and has moved, say two years on, then it is at least four years behind the present (now); so Faye would have been more like 16 or so in 1997, which seems reasonable.
