This actually happened to me a few weeks ago at the school where I work:
Stranger: Hey man, anybody ever tell you you look like Rockwell?
Rashid: [Thinking]
Rockwell?????
Rockwell? The singer?
Stranger: Yeah!!!!
Rashid: [Still thinking]
Rockwell? Are you sure?? The one that sings "Somebody's Watching Me?" From the 80s???
Stranger: Yeah!!!
Rashid: WAIT. Do you mean MAXWELL????
Stranger: Ooooooooh yeah, THAT guy!!!! Yeah, that's who I meant. No offense, homie.
Rashid: I was finna SAY.
The moral of the story is that I can't win -- I'm either Eric Benet with locs or Maxwell with the afro. And I keep getting asked if I've ever heard either before.
