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:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
“The higher, the more exalted the society, the greater is its culture and refinement, and the less does gossip prevail. People in such circles find too much of interest in the world of art and literature and science to discuss, without gloating over the shortcomings of their neighbors.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
