The other night my best friend and I were playing cards and whatnot, when Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" came on the cd player. I was singing along under my breath, and I noticed my friend was too. I thought about this for a moment and decided that my friend, as astute as he may be in other areas, probably had no clue what 'kodachrome' is/was. For the record, '
kodachrome' was a photographic film made by Kodak. It really made the colors pop, I reckon, compared to whatever else was available at the time it was introduced.
And so, I looked over at my buddy, who can be absolutely relied upon for most anything, and asked "What is 'Kodachrome'?"
Without looking up, or missing a beat, he said
"It's a dog ain't it?"
