So when I was born, the The Beatles had released their first single only 16 years earlier. Which doesn't seem that like long ago considering they were so "way before my time" and something only really old people knew about. It's the same time-relationship a kid born today would have with 1996 (just a year later than OJ was acquitted.) We must seem so old when we talk about OJ.
Edit: It's crazy how the tv shift from black & white to color screws up our sense of time. That used to be a real clear cutoff between "old" and "current". Whereas now, so much stuff from the 80s and 90s, like the OJ chase and trial, looks like it could have happened last week. Last edited by molson : 10-05-2012 at 11:48 AM. |

Don't feel too bad. Love Me Do came out 9 years before I was born and WW2 had ended 26 years before I was born...I graduated high school 23 years ago. Think about that!

Geez, you're pretty old. So when you were very young, all the people around you that were as old as you are now all lived through WW2 and remembered it. They must have though of our generation as so clueless and naive to not even have a memory of that time. Just like those young punks today that don't remember 9/11.

Love Me Do came out 20 years before I was born.
I'd say I have no real affinity for music from more than 30 years before I was born (save a couple of jazz albums). For that to be true for my daughter when she's older, she would have no real affinity for music from before 1979. That makes me feel old. That's why I constantly play classic rock in the car. |

Old, yes. Pretty, no. Exactly. They would spin tales of having to ration meat and aluminum and marveled at being able to drink out of the super light weight soda cans of the 70s. They'd tell us that their parents had to wait in lines that were blocks long to eat at soup kitchens back in the 30s, so quit complaining about having to wait in line to fill your car up with gas. Music, you call what you have now music? Heh! Give my ears a clarinet and a trombone any time and I'll show you music.

All of which leads to my oldest daughter singing "Octopus's Garden" in the back seat while we were out and about tonight.
