I guess it's all relative. Like, I started kidnergarten in 1974. That would make some one feel old. But College kids that were born when I couldn't wait for the next Loverboy album? And having them look at me :?  and ask "album?"

It's all relatively depressing.

Well that pretty much sums it up for me! I was born in '86.  Mcdonalds in styrofoam? there's another way to cook popcorn? How would you watch TV without a remote?  And I hope your not trying to tell me someone other than lenno was on The  Tonight Show! :D :D :D

And the next Loverboy album would have been the one with the song "Lovin' Every Minute Of It". I have it and it's awesome! :D

WH, stop lying! You confided long ago that you are "hundreds" of years old, right? Course if you are 100s, then I must be 1000s! I remember 5-cent Cokes from the vending machine and hotdogs were a dime. Nobody ever had an extension phone, all phones were black and only Ma Bell could "own" a phone.
Best of all no pagers and no cellphones :D ! Cheers!

I agree, awesome lyrics in that song.

I don't mind "Give A Little Bit" or "Fool's Overture" either.

I'm definately pumped about Conan coming in for him.  Conan is definately one of the funniest men out there, but it's still gonna be a few more years of the Chin isnt it?
