Sometimes, I would listen to such programs when they had David Bowie or Paul Westerberg or David Byrne or Zappa, and I would wonder just why their fans asked questions that were so much more intelligent. I had to conclude that the Mac fan base was largely or mostly (but not invariably) a little slow. It sounds unwholesome and elitist, but I think the matter came down to the collective IQ differential. This was years ago, of course.

You are so right. I will never forget when the Mac did Rockline to promote the greatest hits album in 1988. The final caller's question was "What do you guys think about advertising?" ******long silence***** Christine says, advertising? Well if you have a product its good to let people know about it.
Ok thank you , that's all the time we have for questions.
Good grief. That person stayed on the line for hours and gets the last question to ask the dumbest question of all time.
