How "old" are you?

There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage and fine feathers are not proper for the male when actually
that is <a href="http://youtu.be/6v1IsOQhEH4>the way things are</a> in most species.

At Newport this year Beck was the last artist to play.  Lumineers were right before him and after they finished there was a mass exodus of the crowd.  We were able to walk right up 15 minutes later and be 10 rows of people back right in the center. 

I realized that Beck fans are basically in the 32 to 40 age group.  All the younger people left and all the older people left.  I had to stay because my wife is 35.  Weird how someones fans just are in one small age group.

Mountain Goats fans were thin dudes in their early 20's with big glasses.

in addition few countries have men generally keeping their hair so short as the US..it really comes from the whole militarization of the culture….

take men in Italy.. they work on their hair and they look good


nobody ever accused American men of being good looking or sexy and their boring short hair doesn't help.


American men are also so terribly short…ugh..

ive had enough, this is my prayer
that ill die livin just as free as my hair

When I was a kid, I remember hearing that Elvis died.  All I remember is my friend told me "the found rugs in his stomach" (that is what I heard) and for a while I can remember thinking.  What did Elvis do…did he cut them up and eat the rugs in little pieces or did he just he just try to eat a rug whole and that's what killed him.

I remember Patrick Swayze dieing… Never forget…

I spent this past weekend at Lollapalooza.  I'm feeling somewhat old right now.

I was at band camp (!) when he died - I was upset as Elvis was my first concert ever in 1970something - I was the 13th caller to 13Q AM in Pittsburgh - it was awesome and I was hooked for life on live shows.  I know it sounds corny, but if you make it to Memphis, the Graceland and Sun Studio tours are totally worth it.  Yes, I am ancient.

I went to Memphis and I saw Graceland and Sun Studio which I agree are both worth seeing.  Actually must sees for people who love rock music.  Plus go to Beale Street and see where Martin Luthur King was shot. Beale Street isn't as cool as Broadway in Nashville but I was able to find one small bar where someone was doing original blues music.

Well at least you had good taste once. 

My first CD was by Flesh For Lulu.  I didn't have a CD player but some record company Rep gave it to me.  When I complained about the lack of CD player someone gave me a KMFDM record.

Mine was U2 War.  I also think I won Jethro Tull Aqualung from DC§101

mine was YES 90125 … AMAZING sounding…this would have been the original German made import for the US market..

this CD sold me on CDs but I thought they would all sound like that and boy was I wrong

For my birthday in 5th grade (1982) my dad bought me a boom box.  He took me to the pawn shop (i'm not joking) and let me pick it out.  I got a sony.  for my birthday that year I got the following tapes from friends and older brothers/sisters:

Squeeze - singles 45's and under
Squeeze -  East side story
Eddie Grant - Killer on the Rampage
David Bowie - Changes ONe

there were more that i can't remember.  But that was the year i started really digging music.

my first music purchase . . .  was thriller and quiet riot.  on tape.  i was in the fifth grade. 

The first album I ever bought was "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell.  First single I bought was "You sexy thing" by Hot Chocolate.
