And “Kilroy was here” is a meme that predates computers
I need more backstory on that one! I'll search the web, but I definitely heard that name before and never knew who he was!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here
It’s one of the earliest memes from graffiti done by allied soldiers
Hehe wow! Quite some history there!
Turns out I knew "him" from Styx!
And as I recall that concept album was about being forced to conform in an authoritarian state.
And it's a great album to this day.
