Until I was in my late 40s, I never knew that apricots were a standalone fruit. I'd only ever heard of them as dried fruits so I assumed that apricot was the name of a dried fruit, like a peach. My thinking that was raisins are the name of dried grapes and prunes are dried plums, apricots are the dried version of something. Was totally stunned to find that apricots are a thing.

I can’t hold your hand and say “who is best for Summerfest.“
I can’t tell you “This is in no specific year, just go with your heart.”
I can’t say “Who is your favorite band.”
Just a question, who would you pick to headline Summerfest, and why is it Oasis?
