Things that make you feel old

[sifi]

Just saw that Francis Bean Cobain turned eighteen last month. This makes me feel old.

Any others?

Orbital's 20th anniversary last year.

Dancing to Dee-lite in a bar when it comes on and realising it was released in 1990.

Any early Prodigy tunes but knowing that when I am in my old people's home in the far future, the music being played in'exercise time' will be the Prodigy...cos I will make it so! NO Glen Miller in my home daddio!!!

Finally getting around to watch Human League at Guilfest this summer and they are my earliest musical memory. (I was 3 in 1981)!

Been attending Glastonbury since the previous big anniversary celebration in 1995...and most of the music I watched or heard at the fest was from around that period!!! Retro a go go!

I'm only 24 but I will go to gigs and see teenagers chatting so much shit I think to myself "Am I getting old or are people getting stupid?"

macauly culkin celebrated his 30th a few weeks ago.

seeing keiran 'fuller' culkin as an adult in 'scott pilgrim'.

When instead of standing outside a gig venue with a 2l bottle of vodka and coke you go to the pub and don't mind going in later.

My son applying for his provisional driving licence

Being able to say something like, I knew that person 20 years ago.

Looking at universities for afore mentioned son.

Seeing people with babies and knowing i'll never hold my own again (not that i want one, i just liked holding mine)

Realising my own parents are not middle aged anymore.

knowing that i find it really hard to have late nights on a school night!

Realising that news readers are the same age as me or sometimes even younger!

Seeing all my young cousins that I've know since they were babies, head off to and graduate from university.

That I'd rather stay in with a nice meal and a bottle of red at a weekend than go to the pub.

Not knowing most of the artists in the music charts.

Having a mortgage.

[Steve P]

That's a kicker isn't it? I'm lucky in so much that since my folks retired to warmer climes, they have had years taken off them, but regardless it's a real kicker.

f**k that, I want to see the support bands.

[the_hedge]

I've started making noises when I get up and and sit down on the settee

For smaller gigs definitly. I normally go to punk gigs in pub basements right enough.

But in a bigger gig I normally can't be arsed what band the label wants to push on me.

[sifi]

Lables don't run gigs, big shows are normally get better support bands anyway. I've seen Skindred, King Blues, Natty, Against Me!, Big D & The Kids Tables, Streetlight Manifesto, 80's Matchbox B-Line Diseaster etc. smallish bands I'd want to see anyway.

Sigh when you sit down, moan when you get up?

Same here.

I saw Pantera supporting Megadeth just after Vulgar Display of Power came out.

[the_hedge]

you don't sing a little song to yourself using 'do's' when you walk away from the couch as well do you?

[sifi]

f**k, I always wanted to see Pantera but they had already broke up/hiatus when I got into them.
