Im so old that

not bad getting old...antiques are worth more

I'm so old today I'm creaking with age

 

My 64' Merc you could use the lap belt cause it had a bottle opener size hole. That was all they were ever used for, plus you had to put on these retractables so they'd roll up.

 

Coffee...a cup...one thin dime....sometimes bottomless.

 

I had a 4-track in my car.

 

I remember the theme song to Wagon Train and Bonanza.

 

I'm 'forever young'

 

didnt realise there were this much old people at the forums.

 

I remember cigarettes, milk, bread being 25 cent and when I was in high school gas was 25 cent a gallon. My grandma used to send me for smokes, Salems (I'd steal 2 or 3 from each pack). Thunderbird wine wine was 50 cent a quart in the 60's.

 

I remember selling 8 balls for $125 in Mesa when I got out of the joint in 86". Skunk was $25 a quarter.

 

The 4-track I had was kind of open top. When you pushed in the cassette a wheel popped up mechanically and clamped the tape to the capstan. I had it in my glovebox with a reverb unit driving the rear speaker. I still have a bunch of 8-tracks, or maybe not, I move alot. They mostly all dragged but I dubbed what I could to cassete

 

im so young that im not even legal..

 

I doubt anyone will care that you're young here, all the people are cool. I have a 15 year old daughter. It's good you checked out us old folks although its like going to an old hippy history class. It was sure fun and wild. No gangs, just gangsters and the cops didn't outnumber the citizens. Here's a pic of my daughter at 13.

 

When I got out of reform school my mom got me a 63' Corvair but I rolled it that same night partying on orange and cherry vodka so she got me an almost new Merc Montego and the first thing I did was put an 8-track in the glove box and got Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and George Carlin's one with the bunch of ways to use sh** in a sentence, and Alice coopers Schools Out.

 

I still have Nancy Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marty Robbins, Zepplin, Guthrie, Golden Earing, Jefferson Starship, Moody Blues, Nugent, Coe and willie Nelson and David Allan Coe together, Bill Cosby, Aerosmith, Joe Cocker, Rolling Stones, Monkees, Molly Hatchet and Bee Gees on vinyl.

 

The kind that shook your innards to a stew if you rode over them with hard, hard shocks? Still have 'em in Richmond.
