Film at eleven

It took all of 9 minutes after the announcement by Kodak that they are retiring their Kodachrome film for the headline writers to quote Paul Simon. What's vexing (yes, I said vexing) is that the journalists were obligated to include lyrics in the actual article. I assume because the young'uns don't know the song.
Most of us born in the 60s or prior, heard the damn thing in our heads as soon as we saw the word. The teens are scratching their heads that film still exists at all.
