A little while ago as my daughter and I where leaving the orthodontist she was all in a dither saying Dad do you know who you where sitting next to?

Lil Bow Wow

I didn't know who or what she was telling me about even after she told me. So I guess I'm just getting old.

I guess I should have gotten his autograph according to her.

H.R PuffnStuff was a liberal tool used to infest the minds of children during thier most formative years, and infest thier little minds with liberal idealogy.
Also, the Posotive Connotation Structure that Liberal cuases are afforded on PBS's children's shows is very transparent to thoswe who know what to look for.

Wanna feel old?
I walked into a shop the other day. The young (early 20's) lady behind the counter is very friendly, starts talking to me about all kinds of things. I'm thinking "oh yeah, I still got it!" Then after about 15 minutes she says "I'm really glad you came in. You remind me so much of my Dad." Ever see a balloon lose all of its' air?

I was at Foot Locker looking for the walking shoes, and the guy says "The New Balance is popular with older guys like you". I'm like, "WTF? I'm less than 15 years older than you buddy!" I was bummed.

I made my platoon sergeant feel pretty old in a conversation not too long ago. We were talking about the Gulf War, and then I told him I was only in the 3rd grade when it happened. [:D]

Ok I'll admit I'd rather go into the dentist and have a tooth pull without novicaine than listen to rap. I told my daughter if I had enough of his autographs like a whole hand full of them I could wipe my butt after I took a dump.

She just smiled and said Yeah but he's a millionaire. Conversation over.

And I thought I was semi cool because I liked the Backsteet Boys and Kid Rock. I guess I'll just start dragging the dirt in on top of me.

Lil bow wow is dirt, god i hate rap, god i hate little kid singers that are nothing more puppets being controled by some kind of talent agency. he seems to be both of those.

I knew I was getting old when I was getting cozy with a student at a college I worked at and found out that when she was in fifth grade I was in my second year of college. A year ahead of where she was at the time.

OUCH!

Favorite Rap Lyrics:

"Pistol grip pump on my lap at all times,
they can be messin wit other nigga's shit, but they ain't be messin wit mine!"

or how about

"I didn't have to use my AK,
That means it was a good day."

I'm with mattsd. The only thing I hate worse than rap are children "singing" rap. It doesn't get any worse than that.

Okay, those who don't like rap music, I want you to go buy or borrow the CD "Renegades of Funk" by Rage Against the Machine. Try out track 8, a cover of the Cypress Hill song, "How I Could Just Kill a Man".

It's about personal firearms and a guy that shoots a home intruder. And wellll, a couple of other people get capped too, but it's an awesome track that you'll never hear on the air, and it's got a lead bass that really get's you going.

Anywho, I'm 45 and my kids turned me on to this music, and I dig it. I mean.. I'm down with it! Check it out!

I dont do rap.

Classic Rock!!!!
Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath!!

Posted: 2/26/2001 7:01:51 PM EDT

[#21]

Yeah Zeppelin, Sabbath that's the ticket. Hell I can even do Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I can handle lame lyrics as long as there's some good music to back it up, sadly most rap is just plain lame all the way around. And even when the lyrics may have some redeming qualities it is still backed by really crappy music. Just my opinion mind you everyone is entitled to listen to what they want.

But hey 1in9, like Lordtrader would say, "man if you gonna be gettin jiggy wid it, don't be buying or borrowen no cd's man, that's what napster for." Even this old funky die hard Rock&Roller knows that.

I started out listening to only rock music as a kid. Scorpions, Rush, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. However when I got to HS all of the cute girls like other types of music and everyone that listened to rock were stoners. So I started listening to top 40 and changed my image a bit. Hey it was HS. By Jr year I started a mobile disc jockey group with some friend. It was a way to meet catholic girls/chicks from school. We would do all the HS party's and what nots. Was great. Just like being in a band. Got a lot of dates. Anyways, at that point I started liking a variety of music. Even rap. The old school rap not this gangsta rap they have now. So I pretty much have a diverse taste in music now, even like contempory jazz. I still can't hang with country music though.

On one of my last nights on duty (marines)a new guy came in as I was watching a tape of The Deer Hunter. I remember watching it when I was a kid. It turned out that he wasn't born until the next year. Even worse, He started talking to me about a cool movie he just saw the other day. He couldn't remember the name. Something about Patrick Swayze, The US getting invaded by Cuba, hiding out in the woods..... Yeah, I feel old too. [:(]

Yup, Red Hot Chili Peppers is about as rap as I can handle. If there's no "real" music behind it, it ain't music in my book.

Grew up on Sabbath, Zeppelin. Bought my first Les Paul in '77 because Jimmy Page and Joe Perry played them. Even guitar with Tommy Lee before Motley Crue. Ah, the good old days.

Im getting old, when some physical stunts I used to do for kicks, now I get tired just thinking about doing them!

Also, Steve Ray Vaughn had a song that applies, called "Things that I used to do...Lord, I won't do no more"

Steve Miller
George Throuhgood (cant spell tonight)

Without a doubt my favorite band of all time is Led Zeppelin. And the Led Zep concert I went to in Cinncinatti was the best damn concert I ever saw.

True story: We arrived at Riverfront Colosium (sp) the concert was general addmission, when we got in the place was packed. the floor in front of the stage was a sea of people standing shoulder to shoulder. We entered the arena about as far as you could get from the stage and it was so crowded my heart sank being so far away from the stage with it being so crowded.

My ho Becky, was 4'11, 90 lbs, and cute as a bug in a rug. I looked at her and said, I want you to put on the best smile you have, open your top alittle and stick them cute little titties out for all their worth and just start making your way through the crowd and I'll be right behing you. It worked like a charm, we worked our way right down infront of the stage in no time at all. If I had tried that on my own I would have ended up in a fight. You always attack the enemy at it's most vulnerable point.

Her reward besides being with the big bad Bootedaddy was I lifted her up on my shoulders and I know it's hard to believe but never put her down till the concert was over. (I won't say what I was jacked up on LOL) My shoulders and neck were raw when we left. And the guy next to kept looking at me saying you must be a body builder. LOL

Ahh the good ole days

I am 36, and I was talking with my 18 year old assistant about Die Hard IX, I tell her Bruce Willis used to have hair and a series called "Moonlighting". She had never heard of it. I thought Ok, maybe she missed it somehow, so I buzzed my receptionist, a 19 year old girl, and she had never heard of it either.

Now that made me feel old.
The really funny thing is the tattoo dye jobs working in shipping listen to 80's rock. Stuff recorded before they were born. That would be like me listening to Frankie Avalon in high school.
Cool with me, much better than listening to Back Alley Boys.

Some good shows out of many, many shows I remember. Sigh.
Clockwise from top left:
Robin Trower St. Louis "76
Grateful Dead St. Louis "77
Led Zepplin (front row center) St Louis "77
ZZ Top (Tres Hombres tour) Atlanta "73
ELP St. Louis "77
Danny Gatton Atlanta "93
Skynrd stage pass St Louis "76
Genesis stage pass St. Louis "77
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Atlanta "85
Fleetwood Mac Atlanta "82 (before Stevie got fat)

Note the prices on some of the stubs! $9.50 to see Zep was unheard of at the time, and me and my friends lived thru three days of brutal hell camping out in the freezing cold to get 8 tickets on the front row. The kids today don't know what good music is (where have I heard that before LOL). I just go to see good blues bands now. [8D]

There has never been a carjacking, but theres a new place called mcDonalds and it taste freakin good. Ahhhh yeah, when I grow up I wanna be a helicopter door gunner, they have cool machine guns. Everyday after school, I play war in the grape fields with my friends. Life is good.

I knew I was old (only 31 )last St. Patricks day at Kent State. I was out with some waitresses from the hotel. I started hitting on this drunk college girl. I thought I was doing well until she started calling me Sir. To make things worse I was dancing with another girl who said she had someone for me to meet, It was her mom.
