Posted July 30, 2019 talking to my best friend's daughter and her boyfriend about school while out to dinner not too long ago and the topic of writing a paper came up and i asked about the library and they looked at each other and laughed... when i tried to explain what the world was like before we had the internet to write papers and before we had cell phones to do our talking for us, they looked at me like it was a time before the wheel... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 30, 2019 Reminds me of the line from Dazed and Confused. "That is what I like about these high school girls. I keep getting older but they stay the same age" So what makes me feel old is seeing my customers kids getting married and having kids themselves. These are customers who had just gotten married when I first met them. Now I recyle the same storries to this new generation, that I told their parents 25 years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) Richard Jeni had a great one ... "watching TV late at night and an ad comes on and you stop to watch and say to yourself, 'that comes in a cream OR suppository?'"

Posted July 31, 2019 Within the last few months when I rode RTD The Ride Bus eastbound towards Downtown through a neighborhood in northwest Denver, I saw a music store advertising "Old 97s" music. Sigh. Whatever happened to "Old 50s" music? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 31, 2019 4 hours ago, mountainrider33 said: There's one thing that doesn't change. When I was a kid, cover bands would always sing Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffet, Beatles, etc. I've walked by a few cover bands playing in the last couple of years and 30 years later, they're still playing those same songs. It made me wonder why the newer cover bands aren't playing Bon Jovi, Poison, The Go-Go's, U2, Dire Straits, etc. for songs. Edit: Looked real quick on Youtube and actually found a cover band doing the Go-Go's, but I doubt many cover bands do 80's songs. The vast majority of cover bands (I know, I'm in one) play music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and later. What gets played depends on the venue, and it's clientele. I'll admit I prefer 70s to 90s, cuz I'm old! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
