    I just went through this a couple of weeks ago at work. We had our summer bbq and were listening to this band who was playing music primarily from the 60-70s. We were all sitting there singing along to a Moody Blues tune, and I looked around wondering how many of the kids knew this music.

    No sooner did I think it, and Patty said she loved the MBs and this song was played at her wedding and 30 something Tara turns around and says What's the Moody Blues! LOL!

    I'll make sure that I link my obituary to this thread when it's published in a few decades, "hopefully"?

    You're only as old as you feel. And besides, I look a lot younger than my years! A lot of you are young enough to be my sons and daughters. lol Still wet behind the ears, no?

    And, as everyone knows, there is NO category above for F1nut's actually age (immortals, that is)!

    I've been aspiring to that status most of this summer, often hitting the coffin around sunrise?

    Ha...I can relate to this too. At one of my nieces birthday parties and a kid, maybe 14 has an Ireland shirt on. Kid has red hair and obviously Irish so I ask...."You like U2 ?" Youtube ? He replies...of course. No..no, U2 the band. Who's that he says. I tell the kid to use Youtube and watch a few U2 videos.

    Seriously....how can you be Irish and not know who U2 is ? Kinda like being English and never hearing of the Beatles.

    Ive seen kids wear tee shirts of older bands. I think it is the fad for some to do that now. But most of the kids i talk to, know little about the bands or their music
