The other day, a youngster (mid 20s) asked me where I got my cool '80s shirt.
I couldn’t remember, because I GOT IT IN THE '80s!
Uncooly cool, what?
Tell us your stories.
My boyfriend books and promotes shows. Sometimes the bands come and hang out with us after shows, either at our house or his office, and we talk business, and just generally hang out. Ive always just been JL’s girlfriend, and kind of looked at as a “Mom” figure, provider of pizza, giver or rides.
One night one of the band members, who is all of 17, looked at my music collection… “Wow, cool where did you find all this vinyl?”(um, dude, Im 40… I was buying vinyl because my parents had a record player, not an 8-track deck…)
He also was impressed I knew who David Bowie was! (and could quote lyrics!)
Suddenly… I was the cool one!
Back in the mid-2000s, I wore Napoleon Dynamite glasses - that I had purchased in the early 90s.
I grew a goatee in the 90s and I’ve been hanging on to it for when they come back around.
That sort of counts, right? It will, anyway.
Whoa. That’s like, meta, or something.
I have jeans that are so old they’ve faded in the knees and butt, and torn a bit in some places. Bought them brand new in the mid 90s, and people today want to know where I found such authentically worn jeans.
I’m blank. (unintentionally)
