Something that I've never noticed until this summer: the music that came out while I was in high school is now called "classic rock". Nothing else has ever made me feel old quite like that. Getting married, being in the working world, having nieces and nephews, buying a house... none of those had the effect of hearing a radio announcer say the music I was listening to (and remembered so fondly) was "classic rock". Classic rock is something that old people listen to and talk about how it came out while they where in high school. I'm still hip, I'm cool... tucka, tucka, tucka...
*sigh* Ah well. I just hope that when we move into the house the neighborhood kids will stay off my lawn. If not I'll just shout "Damn kids stay off my lawn!!" and then I'll shake my fists at them.
