You know you are old when...

[In~Plain~Site]

Hearing that you were in high school when Nirvana was popular & Cobain was alive

I was thinking the same thing

....and you named your pet rooster Sgt. Pepper.. lol

Or a pet duck named Joe Cocker



I just asked myself recently, while I was at the supermarket "Am I getting old, or are they just starting to play good music here?"

"Hey hey were the monkays!"

Yea, I remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show!

Me and my sibs. were a couple years younger than our closest cousins, our house thought the Monkeys were better, haha. They turned us on to the Beatles, Diana Ross and the Supremes, and a little later the Stones.

I did not expect to be the oldest poster on this thread but it seems so....that makes me feel OLD.

That's OK, I don't think of myself as being old, just a step slower. Makes me think more.

Hey all you young'uns out there have a great New Year!

I was right there with you on that special Sunday night watching
in Black and White TV.

When AM was king.

My Mom was the Coolest on the block she piled all us kids in the Candy Apple Red 1962 Dodge Dart Convertible cranked up the AM and drove us to the five and dime for the first Beatles record to hit our little desert town "I Want a Hold your Hand", we wore it out till my Dad got home..

Hell I just figured out I got to stop Hitting on High school Chicks..

I had a guy tell me once that you know you're old when you have to get up and pee four times a night. I had to laugh at that one.....

yeah bro part of getting old is getting up four times during the night, and yet in the morning discovering you've actually peed five times.......

 

[bird]

toys and stuff are a lot different
and your like they didnt have that kinda stuff when i was a kid

 

[BrainSellz]

when your still rockin the Victrola and using a rotary phone without call waiting.....

 

[Happy 7]

... when the things you remember about your youth seem to have happened to somebody else.

 

[Madrus Rose]

Do I know the daughter of your next door neighbor?.....lol

....The first song I ever remember was 'She Loves You (yeah-yeah-yeah)'.....by the Beatles...

And that's way back when you still had "hair" Gypsy ,
hehehe ...(but "bald" is distinguished !)

One looks back in amazement at those simple songs:
"She Loves You" or "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" ...

And how charged they made u feel ...totally thrilling & electrifying kids (and adults) round the globe who were swept up by this British beat by the 10's of millions & the innocent romanticism at the heights of the "Cold War" .

Just silly little love songs looking back where the heaviest drugs might have been too many cups of strong coffee, a little toke off a joint or hash but that was rare & esoteric . Of course it wasn't many yrs later that Jim Morrison would be asked by Ed Sullivan not to sing the lyric in "Light My Fire"

" couldn't get much higher"

and were banned from the show & peeps in the MidWest US were burning Beatle albums, while they had to be smuggled into USSR upon pain of imprisonment . That small window of innocence wasn't to last but a fondly remembered brief chrysalis ...like the butterfly of all our youth & life itself .

" HEY NINETEEN "

Way back when
In Sixty-seven
I was the dandy
Of Gamma Chi
Sweet things from Boston
So young and willing
Moved down to Scarsdale
Where the hell am I
Hey Nineteen
No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

Hey Nineteen
That's 'Retha Franklin
She don't remember
The Queen of Soul
It's hard times befallen
The sole survivors
She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growing old

Hey Nineteen
No we got nothing in common
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all

 

[yortbogey]

U...know that U'r old when a "NAP".....sound better than most other options.........
