Yet most of those kids who wear those Ramones shirts would scratch their heads at the mere mention of Television, Talking Heads, and Blondie.
It bugs me to no end how kids these days say they're into the "retro thing," yet have no clue about those types of bands from back in the day.

I think you're right.
It has a lot to do with where you live. Those in, say Alabama, for example, don't have the exposure to bands and artists like Bowie, Blondie, and the Talking Heads like those in the cities do. I think it's a "cultural" issue more than anything. Big cities like Boston and New York nurture music and the arts, whereas it's very different in other parts of the country.
