Am I an old fogey?

Post by Brk »

Even though I do keep up with current music, almost all the stuff I actively/consistently listen to is 5+ years old. Some of it is sentimental I guess, but I continually find bands I love that are no longer together, members have died, whatever, and haven't put out an album in years. Save for a couple of artists/bands, I can't drag myself to buy new releases these days.

I have also begun to salt-and-pepper everything I eat, a sure sign of old age.

You haven't hit "old" yet until you can remember when at least one song on the oldies station came out.

Hi Burke


Not to worry. " Old Is " When it hurts to Bend over to choose a CD to listen to, then halfway through it you have to use the Bathroom. :D


Have a Lovely Day youngster :)

Nah you guys got it all wrong. Old is when you decide you want to download some old music, fire up kazaa lite, and then can't remember anything that you wanted to download. ;)
