    ...when you watch MTV and you find the bands contribed, talentless and too cutsey teen agnst to bare.

    Its like, " Look at me, I'm young with a retro hair do, playing the same chord over and over again...........la la la"

    I have to go with Martha Quinn myself but I hear ya.

    For me it was trying to get the round channel changing dial on the cable box to stick between 35 and 36 so the Playboy channel would come in...it was still fuzzy but it was fuzzy nekkid chicks.

    I used to listen to some show out of Chicago at night on my AM transistor radio...I was in Richmond VA.
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    It's simpler than you think.

    I'm suprised none has mentioned Benny Hill, and Montey Python yet.

    And of course "On TV" on Chanel 44 in Chicago.

    I watched what was supposed to be the last "Who" concert on that.

    For those that don't know, "On Tv" was a scrambled TV chanel. You had to rent the descrambler to see anything other than fuzzy lines...unless you were a geek, and built one from parts you bought at Radio Shack...so you could see the adult movies late at night...
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    You know you're getting old when you laugh at 20-somethings who think they have the wisdom of years thing under their belt. Because you're over 40 and you know that nothing is ****her from the truth.

    I'm late into the game but things I remeber growing up in NY...
    Captain Scarlet, Diver Dan, Jonny Quest, the Mike Douglas Show, Captain Ked, PF Flyers, the NY Worlds Fair, the 4:30 Movie, Officer Joe Bolton, Cap't Jack McCarthy, Soupy Sales, Tex Antoine, WABC, WINS before it was a news station, Imus when he was cool, Jackie Gleason from Miami Beach FL, Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson in NY, Candid Camera, Playboy After Dark, Chiller Theater, Swanson TV dinners in aluminum trays, and the days when it was OK to go into school with this.

    Other signs that you're getting older...
    The girls in playboy could be your daughter.
    The girls in playboy could be your daughters daughter
    You start to check the obituaries of your home town paper
    A MILF is now your WIFE
    It's a crapshoot if you do either a quickie or an all nighter and no longer a choice.
    You see celebrities on TV and don't know who they are.
    What you wore in HS is now on an Old Navy commercial.

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Ever notice how virtually everyone agrees that 95% of all traditional schools are crap, but NOBODY ever admits to being in that 5%? Don't judge... your skill may suck also...

    When you can remember all these things from 30 years ago, yet you can't remember what you did with your car keys.

    Bob Keeshan was both Clarabell the Clown on Doodie and of course the good Captain K.
    I've sort of been to his house and got to go in his pool.
