Beatles. They were a band, where I come from. Big one, too.

[That sure is an interesting reaction, young man.]

[shamisens]

[ A band? Then nothing to do with his father's clan. Kubo feels vaguely relieved by that, but also disappointed. ]

I just heard the the tune somewhere. I don't know the band.

[onlyanapple]

[Sorry, Kubo. Different kind of bugs. ]

No? Well, once I get a jukebox back in my bar, remind me to educate you in them.

[shamisens]

What's a jukebox?

[onlyanapple]

It's a little metal box that plays music.

[Descriptive, Crowley. ]

[shamisens]

How does a box play music? Where would the instruments be?

[onlyanapple]

Tiny little minsters inside the box.

[A pause, but no, he can't bring himself to keep that lie up. ]

It's all computers. Like the ships, except it holds recordings of music in it.

[shamisens]

That seems like it'll put me out of a job.

[onlyanapple]

I wouldn't worry about it. People always want to see live performers.

[shamisens]

[ He nods. ]

So what's so special about Beetles?

[onlyanapple]

They revolutionised the music industry. Teenage girls swooned all over the place with them. It was quite impressive.

[shamisens]

[ Gross. ]

Yeah, that sounds awful.

[onlyanapple]

Not for them. Or the teenage girls, I expect.

[ He waves a dismissive hand.]

It's okay, you'll get it when you're a little bit older.

[shamisens]

I don't want to get it.

[onlyanapple]

Afraid to break it to you, but once puberty hits, chances are you'll get it if you want it or not.

[shamisens]

No way.

[onlyanapple]

I mean, you can try to fight it, I suppose. Stranger things have happened.

[shamisens]

I've seen people flirt. It's still gross.

[onlyanapple]

I suppose it is something of an acquired taste for some people. Or not a taste at all for others, as the case here may be.

[shamisens]

Probably. I'm just not sure why people keep bringing it up with me. What makes them think I care?

[onlyanapple]

Because people are very good at assuming things. Plus you seem about on the cusp of that age where most people start to care- so that probably has something to do with it.

[shamisens]

Wouldn't it make more sense if I was younger then?

[ At least that's what he'd assume. Kubo always liked the younger kids. There wasn't anyone his age around. ]

[onlyanapple]

You'd really think that, wouldn't you.

[shamisens]

Yeah?

[onlyanapple]

And yet, people can surprise you.
