One issue I generally run into on my search for stickers, is trying to remember why something seems familiar. Often it's a reference to an aspect of popular culture that is just escaping me at that moment. Other times it's a business or brand that I've seen before but not something I typically use or frequent. And while I can usually make the connection, eventually, I rarely am able to explain it to someone else. When I found this sticker, I knew it was something I recognized. It took me a while but after walking away I remembered that Sir Sly is a band with a song that I liked. I admit that I was probably a little too proud of this particular sticker find. If you think about it, finding a band's logo on a college campus really isn't that hard of a feat. But I was still rather thrilled by the find and the fact that I managed to get such an interesting play with the reflection in the background. I mean it's the little things in life, right. At the time I was still sharing an apartment with my brother so I decided to tell him about my most recent find. He listened to my story, out of a mutual sibling respect for each others eccentricities, but stared at me at the mention of Sir Sly. I tried to explain why he might know the band, attempting to sing the lyrics I could remember and tell him how long its been on the radio but to no avail. With every new piece of information I tried, the more confused he became. I don't know where the disconnect in my brain is but I really can't describe things to others in a way that easily makes sense. I know this a common issue for everyone, but I feel like it happens to me more than most. Eventually I accepted defeat and pulled the song up on YouTube. Barely a few notes in, he looked at me and said, "Oh you mean that song." For those of you wondering, the song is "Gold" and I know you have heard it before.
