I am quite proud of my ability to say that my connection to popular culture is a bit tenuous. In spite of being highly curious about many things, I am also short of time. As a result, I do not seek it out. When it finds me, however, I find much of it to be jaw-dropping, and often entertaining, but still low on my priority list.
In spite all that, I am glad to be able to say that I do not meet this, perhaps slightly dated, test of an intellectual snob as proposed by former CBS News Anchor Dan Rather:
"An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of the Lone Ranger."
