Some of my favorite music is being called "Classic Rock!" You too? Did you know Poison and Skid Row had a venue at a casino in my area? So old!

Some of my favorite music is being called "Classic Rock!"A little off topic, but STL's classic rock station plays Bryan Adams. Bryan Adams??? He is as classic rock as Hanson..!

For Generation X, now in their 30s and 40s,40s?? Oh, I'm back in Generation X now? (Being that I'm 41 and "40s" is plural, so it has to include me.)
I keep getting retroactively labeled a "boomer" even though I never got any boomer benefits.
Then again, the first Gen X sitcom was "Friends" and two of the actresses on the show are older than me (even if their characters weren't.)

You know you're old when:
You start wearing Depends to a Metallica concert.
You don't go to a Metallica concert anymore because the music hurts your ears.
You have to explain to your kids what a record album is.

How come I never had the idea that I or my generation (I never considered my self part of a generation) was going to change to world. I would say change to what exactly? Maybe I was and always be counter- counter culture. Oh well.

Pretty soon, you'll have to explain to them what a CD is. You already have to explain to them what a VHS is.

I knew that I had been to something important -- historic I really like alt rock, but this lad has his priorities a bit skewed.

Perry Ferrell is the man.
Lollapalooza with Soundgarden was the best. Unfortunately, I was caught up in college at the time and didn't get to go.
Chris Cornell, 1992. My biggest singing influence. And he could hit higher notes than he could jump. Blows my mind. I listen to Badmotorfinger almost every day.

Similar to the 20 year anniversary of Ferris Bueller.

The day I felt old was when I told the Karen Carpenter/Mama Cass joke to some co-workers and I got blank stares all around. That was because absolutely nobody in the lunchroom ever heard of Karen Carpenter OR Mama Cass.
BTW, the joke was "If only Mama Cass had given her ham sandwich to Karen Carpenter, they'd both be alive today."

The good news is that whenever my nephew accuses me of being an old fuddy-duddy, all I need to do is pull out an old Suicidal Tendencies album and blowaway the cRAPola he's listening to.
