This trick doesn’t always work. What you look like is not always a predictor of your tastes.
I was at a record convention once, more years ago than I care to count. At that time I had a beard, and a nice full head of hair in the ‘dry look’ style. One of the dealers was boasting to a friend that he could tell just by appearance what kind of music any customer liked and was hunting for. I was flipping casually through LPs, not watching them, when I heard him call “Hey! Kenny Loggins!” I waited a few beats, and then finally looked up. I answered quite honestly that I had no interest in Kenny Loggins, and was not trying to find any of his records. He had no answer, and his friend was still there to see that his system didn’t work so well. I moved on, and no Kenny Loggins sale was made.
This reminds me of one of my favorite art cartoons. Two museum guards watching the sophisticates peer at some modern paintings and one says to the other, “If you want my opinion, none of these paintings need to be guarded.”
Moonie is becoming a savvy Museum Guard. But I bet the museum administrators would like it even better if he ironed his rumpled jacket and kept his shirt buttoned….

I love “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!” My favorite news source.

This seems like a repeat (or close echo) of a strip from no so long ago.

I would have guessed 1960-1969.
