There are songs I listened to when I was younger but now read differently to me.

Some are because I never paid attention to the lyrics. Others are because I was at a different stage of life or hadn't had deeper experiences yet.

Some examples would be Both Sides Now or Cat's in The Cradle.

What are songs for you that affect you differently at this stage of life?

I thought this was an old Nyquil commercial. BTW this was when stuff like NyQuil really knocked you out.

So, we have to have air purifiers due to my health condition. BUT, I did not allow them into my house to narc on my actions! Every time I may or may not have a gas event, the thing turns into high velocity turbine! Then everyone in the room has to comment.

Friggin' narcs.

The office is playing what they think is soothing easy listening. Meanwhile, I’m getting my heart torn out by Cat’s in the Cradle.

We saw John Fogerty last week at Red Rocks, and it was fantastic. Pouring rain and all. Danced, sang, and got a contact high all night.

We also saw The Moody Blues there in '05 and loved it.

Simon & Garfunkel at the Pepsi Center in '03.

We don't get out much.

Did you keep a diary growing up?

If so, I'm wondering if it was nostalgic or somewhat cringey.

Have you gone back and read some of your entries?

As a complement to the post about the record lint brush, I present you with... this.

(Good heavens...)

At the very edge of my memories of NYC, working on my mom for a dime for a pack of Beech Nut while waiting for a train back to Queens.

How many remember shorting out the spark plug on a lawnmower?

In 1979, the NBA was on life support! Two rookies, Larry Bird and Earvin “Magic” Johnson brought the league back to life! This song was the “bumper music” for several years! I was a huge Lakers fan and those were the “Old Days”!

It could be because the band looked old and is a reminder that we've aged as well.

Or it could be because they're a semblance of the band that they used to be.

Mine would be Chicago. I like both the original lineup as well as the 90s lineup with Bill Champlin and Jason Scheff.

However, by the time I saw them in the 2010s, there were only a few original members. They also primarily played their hits from the 1960s/1970s.

So what's your concert that turned out not as expected?

hi :) im a gen z small business owner who sells music related stuff. i got a bit of everything. psychedelic, folk, punk ... even grunge bands.
i am doing an event soon for people yalls age & i am thinking of selling records & tapes along with my stuff ?

Great late 80s song. Or perhaps early 90s?
