Sh*t that makes you feel old

You saying that makes me feel old; one of my earliest movie experiences was The Fox And The Hound.

 

Metallica's album "Ride The Lightning" will be 30 years old tomorrow.

 

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.

 

I already know Denny, it was real crackly and the audio sounded like it was a tin can

 

The first movie I remember going to was Days of Wine and Roses.

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

 

CUT THE TROLLING PAPA D

 

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

 

In a word....pathetic.

Does your moniker make you feel old?

 

Some days more than others.

I am old, so for me it should be titled "Sh*t that makes you feel your age".
