I dunno, man. One day I was 22, getting spit on and harrassed by the local frat boys for being a punk/New Rom/whatever, and then I turned around and I’m middle-aged!
I was born in 1960 and had only a normal interest in music until the late 70s and early 80s, when suddenly all this wonderfully odd stuff showed up. 
I refuse to grow up. I plan to be just like my new hero I saw just yesterday: 60+ year old man in a red Trans AM blasting Kid Rock with a hot young blonde in the passenger seat. Er, except for the hot young blonde part…I doubt my wife would approve. Ok, how about hot old blonde? Yes, I mean my wife, you pervs.
Or is this just sad? Please, tell me now while I have 30 years to prepare. 
Not sad at all !
I plan on going to see Posion in concert next month with Cinderella, Winger and Faster Pussycat. Now, if I can just get my hair a little bigger… I wonder if the rest of the audience will also be running to the phones constantly to check on the baby-sitter.
Class of '89 rules!!!
Class of '88 here…
ah, those pop 80’s songs…so many, many of them…
Bangles - Manic Monday
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Richard Marx - (who knows…just about anything he did was “make-out” music)
VanHalen - back when VanHalen was COOL
…
I could go on for hours…
Especially in New York, Paris, London & Munich.
Class of '85. It’s a cruel (cruel, cruel) summer.
Early '90s, I was back in Chicago, had a cute little rental car, re-visiting my old haunts, top down, no place I needed to be. I found this great radio station, they were playing all the best music …
“RETRO FLASHBACK WEEKEND!!!”
I nearly drive into the lake.
Drove, dammit. I nearly drove into the lake.

Gee, thanks, Broken Doll - didja HAVE to say that ? (cricket shuffles off feeling WAY old…)
Opalcat- you have a 'net radio station?? Is it accessible from your home pages? It just figures that a Former Tucsonan would have a cool radio station.
booboo316 - yeah, the Classic Rock and Alternative stations here suck, so I’m reduced to the “oldies-to-today” stations that play Britney Spears one second, and then Fine Young Cannibals (sp?) or some other 80’s thing the next second - and then call it “old” Geez, I’m only 34. I’m not dead yet…
