At 33, am I getting old?
So my girlfriend, who is a freshman in college, comes home during a break between classes today. At school, this guy was whistling a song and a girl asked him what it was. "Soundgarten. It's classic rock".
Goddamn, does this year's college freshman class really think of Soundgarden as classic rock? What ever happened to "Pink Floyd" and "The Who" being classic rock? Are they Golden Oldies now?
I think of Soundgarden as being NEW music. Sure, some of ya are shaking your heads saying "Damn, I still think of Pink Floyd as new music."
And round and round she spins.
Aging happens fast. It's starting to scare the hell out of me. Hell, if I know what's going on but Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" is 11 years old now. Fuck, that seems new to me too. Pearl Jam's Jeremy is as old as my father's "Abbey Road" was when I was listening to the Ozzy Osbourne in 1980. And "Abbey Road"? That seemed ancient to me at the time.
It gets worse. Last night, I saw two television commercials that I thought were tasteless. Am I changing or is the world getting sicker? Whatever happened to that ten year old that thought loogies were cool? I hope it's the world changing and not me. At least I like techno. Or is that getting old now too?
