Memo to the old folks:
Don't expect those of us under 60 to know the names of all the sons on Bonanza/cabinet members of the Eisenhower administration/band members of the Holding Company if you yourself cannot name a single band, lead singer, or hit single after 1980.

That is all. :)

2. When I was in high school (back in the dark ages)...
I had an assignment which involved quizzing my parents about my interests. They then had to quiz me about theirs. I asked my dad to name three bands I listened to. Without skipping a beat he said, "Van Halen, Aerosmith, and AC/DC."

Gotta love my dad. :)

19. *and*
I even left my Killers CD in your car.

Not that I'm like, their hugest fan, but I like that album.

So when you mail me my first season of House back in a few weeks, you can send that along too. :D

4. That reminds me of my mom
Only she couldn't remember the name of Huey Lewis and the News - she called them "Huey Luey and the Creepies." She was so cute!

20. reminds me of the time...
....that George Bush the Elder was trying to say "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" (a popular band of the time) and said, instead:

"Nitty Ditty Nitty Gritty Great Bird"

9. LOL; I believe the proper term is ORF, not old folks
Old retired f---s. Add in the letters you want. I think there has to be a thread for the over 60s crowd to the under 60s crowd about not being expected to understand rap, hiphop, etc.

10. I'm 27...
and I barely understand hip-hop. I almost never listen to it, although I can appreciate it.

This guy is more my style:



For those not in the know, that's Jello Biafra, previously of the Dead Kennedys.

23. oh man, I love Jello....
He came to HSU (where I work) a couple of years ago, but I was out of town on the night of his show so I missed it.
