LOL @ Centerfold. Go check out my radio.blog on my blog, Diane’s Stuff. If you are unfamiliar with how the radio blog works you’ll see an arrow top and bottom- just scroll~ until you find a song named “First I Look At The Purse”. Talk about old. That song was from J. Geils Band Live Album recorded in 1972. Go ahead— give it a listen!

Those are a couple of interesting ruinted bands to see– I’d especially be curious to see the New York Dolls, or what’s left of them.

I’ll confess to sharing many of the fogeyisms on your list. But I think I realized I was old when I was invited to spend the day wth friends riding the coasters at Six Flags, and the very thought of standing in line all day made be beg off…

Oh yeah. I'm so glad you're the music snob, because that way I can be lazy and copy off your test.

Oh yeah, I was talking to a guy last night who was in Israel recently, dancing with a female soldier to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. To his surprise, this girl never heard the song before. I thought Michael Jackson was the king of music around the world! The guy soon found out she was born in 1985 and quickly ended their dance. 1985? Fuck. I’m old. But I embrace it. Really.

Sar, the J Geils Band rocks. I LOVE Centerfold.

HotToTrot, Have you heard of the Rock Snob’s Dictionary? It’s my bible. Actually, even that is too mainstream for my taste.

Actually, I like to think that I’m less of a snob now than in college because I now befriend people who go to see Gordon Lightfoot at the Wolftrap. Who the hell is Gordon Lightfoot anyway, Chrissy?

JO, I like it when a man can admit that he pisses sitting down.

Maine, how old are you?!? No loud music, ever? And my biggest problem with assigned seating is that people get pissed off if you want to stand during the show.

C.Ro, Big Star is reuniting??? I’ll have to add that to my list of reunion shows!

And for the record, JJ, at first I was irritated by Morrissey’s pretentious attitude and the massive red lights of his name on stage, but after realizing that Morrissey is one of the few people who can get away with it and people actually love him for it, I embraced the show as one of the best shows I’ve seen (especially after sneaking up front). Much better than the first around, where I had to witness a horde of girls fighting for his shirt, literally tearing it to shreds. Oh, and my friend, crying at the end of the show because she thought that this would be the last time she would ever see Morrissey in her life. Girls can be so melodramatic.

You want OLD, Julie? How about this:

Tonight, I am going to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert at Wolf Trap.

Creepy, aren’t I? I hope you still actually talk to me after this.

the ultimate sign that you (as a man) are getting old is that you give up your birth right of standing to take a piss. Instead of standing, your lazy ass opt’s for the a seat on the throne (who left the seat up?!).

I was posting a comment on another blog last night, and this chick had never heard of J Geils Band (as mentioned by some previous commentor). Granted, not the epitomy of musicianship, but damn, never even heard of them? I felt so old. I think it was 6th grade for me when they hit with Centerfold.
