By the way, I'm flabbergasted that Maude came out only two years after the debut of the Mary Tyler Moore show. They ran concurrantly. I have some memory of Maude; maybe the difference of a year made all the difference. But maybe it was the content as well.

All in the Family

That reminds me of the first episode of "All in the Family." It included a few words that I had never encountered. I went to my mother and asked, "What's a Guinea? What's a WOP?"

Ha! How old were you?

I remember distinctly playing Purple Rain on my cassette player when I was nine. I was on the couch, singing "Darling Nikki", the lyric that goes sitting in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine. My mother came in and asked, "Do you know what 'masturbate' means?" When I shook my head no, she let me continue listening to it.

I was eleven years old when I saw the first episode of "All in the Family."

Your story about Purple Rain reminds me of a gym teacher who caught some of the kids using foul language. When he asked them what the words actually meant, they hadn't a clue.
