Caesar: It's the real millennium this time. Think anything's going to happen? Huey: Yeah, right...I'm not falling for that again - not after last year's dud. No terrorist attacks, no rogue nuclear launchings, no massive power outages, no global economic crisis, no new world order. No judgment day, no armageddon. Nothing!!! As a conspiracy theorist, it seriously damaged my credibility...I was owed an alien invasion or an earthquake or something!! Caesar: Say, who started this whole idea that the world would end in 2000, anyway? Huey: Not sure. Prince, I think. Caesar: Boy, I bet he really felt dumb. Huey: Yeah, he needs to stick with the freak-nasty songs and leave the doomsday predictions to someone else...
I was still in diapers when Y2K came along, so I don’t remember any of the hype.
