Guns'n'Roses' "Appetite For Destruction" is almost as old (27 years) and was a seminal rock record of my childhood when I was in elementary school...
I remember when there was no FM radio. AM radio was the one choice and there was no musical segregation. You'd hear the Beatles, Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra back to back. A good song was a good song. You had a choice to buy albums in mono or stereo and 45s or LPs were only sold in furniture stores where coffee table record players were sold. My first LP was probably Paul Revere and the Raiders or the Beatles first LP. When I was a child we had phones with the mouthpiece on the wooden box and the earpiece on the side. Phone number was one long ring and two short rings, party line and no numbers.
Wow. Still one of my favorite albums of all time...this definitely makes me feel old, well played sir
My first LP was Meet the Beatles Had such a moment yesterday. I was at a memorial for a good friend who died just before July 4 weekend. I met a woman there and we decided to exchange phone numbers (business, not social). I had pen & notebook in my bag but it was in another room. She had her bag with her but no pen. A young woman nearby said "don't you have phones"? Duh! My phone was in the next room with the rest of her stuff, but my new friend had her phone, called me, left message, voila! we now have each other's phone numbers. No pen and paper needed.
What's with the longhair guy in your signature? I can't read the type on the right of him. Looks interesting, though!
Jane Fonda Barberella, American Graffiti Ron Howard, Dirty Harry and Clint Eastwood, Bruce Lee movies, Cheech and Chong movies, Ramblin Rod, Hobo Kelly and watching anything on antenna tv. Who remembers Festival seating at concerts?
You know you're old when you hear the Everly Brothers or Buddy Holly and know all the lyrics. You know you're old when you still think of Metallica as a band your kids tried to get you to listen to
Yes, sadly, the message in the sig is too small to see. I'll have to get a new sig. Meanwhile: Mathew 25-31 in the Conservative Bible
I'm young, only 31... But I remember racing home to watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' first episode. I saw Forrest Gump on Thanksgiving Day, when it came out. Ditto for Jurassic Park. Hell, I saw real movies. The shit they make now isn't movies. There's hardly anything real in them. I played pogs. I remember a time before the internet, and I'm only 31. I played Incredible Machines on a DOS. It took up a MB on the computer... we couldn't get many more games because we barely had room for it.
