Posted March 25, 2016 Ugh!!! Let me start by saying I know I'm not old, but I know I'm getting OLDER. I was on facebook, and these damn kids were talking about their favorite "classic" music. Anyone who has seen me knows I play 80s and 90s grunge all the time. Here these damn kids were talking about classics from Metallica, Green Day, or classic films like "16 candles", and "The labyrinth," I could die!!! What was something in your 30s or 40s that was your first, "I'm getting older moment?" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2016 I never really felt old until we elected a president younger than me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2016 Labyrinth turns 30 this year, Siamese Dream is 23, Kurt Cobain died 22 years ago, River Phoenix 23 years, Green Day's Dookie is 22. I am only 34 but I feel ancient. Definitely a product of the late 80s early 90s. Everything makes me feel old these days. I am going to see The Cure this summer I am curious as to what the crowd will look like. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2016 Lucy please tell me it is here in Denver! !! I remember going to a Goth nightclub and The Cure played. I was in heaven and my wardrobe fit in just perfect. In my younger years I wore vinyl or black dresses. Chockers, you name it. I miss those days. Let me sound old but dammit we did play until the sun came up, we rode bikes everywhere. We walked home from school!!! Ugh. The better days. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was 34 once... apparently around the time Cobain took his life. I hope The Cure fixes what ails you Lucy! My music playlist stops pretty much at any band that formed before the 80's. Zeppelin, The Who, AC/DC, Nugent... That probably explains why I say "Huh?" a lot. My old moment... Playboy centerfolds were born after I graduated High school!!!

Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) What was something in your 30s or 40s that was your first, "I'm getting older moment?" I was not yet 21 when the Dead started charging for their concerts. I thought it was a sure sign of the apocalypse. After that, it was a pretty good run until reading glasses @ 48. After 50, I can say with some authority that there's little good news; just a lot of "not yet's". Edited March 25, 2016 by Happymon clarity 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 25, 2016 I'll bet she was totally flumixed by a 8 track First new car I bought had an 8-track. 1980 Camaro Berlinetta. Both the car and stereo were crap! Still have fond memories, though. Like Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic"! Wouldn't go back, though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favorite music: Kingston Trio, Beach Boys, Herb Alpert, PPM I'll bet she was totally flumixed by a 8 track I know Tom Dooley and what about Betamax vs VHS? What about Elvis? None of us have mentioned him yet? I picked the winner in Beta vs VHS and the loser in 8-track vs Cassette... Edited March 26, 2016 by Riggo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2016 Mama Cass and Michelle wailin' away. Dedicated to the one I love. I have all their vinyl. Also have Mama Cass' vinyl from when she went solo. I was 15. And while I love women of all shapes and sizes, Mama Cass was my first "crush." So if you've got a little extra "heft", ladies, I notice. Also still have my 8-track tape of Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger." My 8 track was installed in the green 60 Dodge Dart I drove to college. The car and tape player are long dead, but I still have that tape. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2016 Oh yeah? Explain difference between 78 and 33-1/3 78 RPM vs 33 1/3 RPM? 78's were much thicker, kinda like my skull. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beta was always superior, it took until 2015 for it to finally die. I cherished my Beta until the day it died with American Graffiti stuck inside. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superior without the support of the masses does not matter! Plus, all of my 49er super bowl victories are on VHS! American Graffiti rules! No matter the format. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
