Popular Culture
American Rock band The Black Keys released an album titled El Camino, in 2010. The inspiration came from the band sighting an El Camino while driving in their tour bus in Canada in 2010, though Carney admitted that the title was selected "as a joke". "El camino" is Spanish for "the road" or "the path", which was discovered by the band after selecting it as an album title, so they joked about the record taking on deeper meaning afterwards.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
