Yeah, I don't have a problem talking to people who are older than me. I think if someone is intelligent and thoughtful, then there's going to be a lot of good communication and connection between people. It's just that it's a bit jarring when you've been imagining that someone's a certain age, and you find out they are not. Like if you've listened to someone on the radio for a long time, and then you find out what they look like...it's usually much different than you imagined. But, like I said, I get over it.
Hmm, the title of this thread seems to have taken on a new meaning!

Hmm, the title of this thread seems to have taken on a new meaning! I know. For instance, I thought Phantomengineer was 68, but, upon hearing he was fifty, I was revolted. No fifty year old should have an old person smell strong enough to carry over the internet.

Hah! I got 10 years on you, you young whippersnapper! Say, does that make me the "oldEST board user?" Well as everyone here knows I'm 700 but my cover story is I'm 49 so officailly you are the old man of the board. And bless you for it.

Well, that's very nice MJ. It's probably a result of the great Chicagoland public school system.
Or maybe because I dallied in the writing profession for a couple years.
However, I'll only be in my 20s for another year. I've decided you can be 30 and not act like an adult, and you can have children and not act like an adult. But if you're 30 and have children, it's time to grow up.
But I hope not.

The only reason I visited this thread was that I thought "Old Board Users" was about us old guys who use the board. Doh! And it's the rock n' roll that keeps me young. But I have to say I'm slowing down. Last gig we played, at the end we were all sitting on our amps, exhausted and the bass player says. "Rock and roll is for the young". Amen! I can't play all night and sleep all day anymore. And Blurry about me having your address. To quote Bela in Bride of the Monster... 'Don't worry, he's as gentle as a kitten" 'course Crow adds; "Yeah, a big bald deranged kitten..."

Servo Oh so your one of those prima donnas that won't help carry the stuff. Yeah, I've been in bands with guys like you. Makes me want to puke! Well that’s an exaggeration, I don't really want to puke.

Geez, how successfull are you TS, that you can pay road rats to haul your gear for you? I was too cheap to pay for that. I would give free T-shirts and/or CDs if an audience member helped out
I remember groupies. Man that was weird. Just because I have a guitar all these really hot girls would look at me like I was this... God? I mean it's really strange to look out at an audience and certain girls are totally enthralled with you - and you can be butt ugly, it doesn't matter!
Who knew a Fender telecaster was the great equalizer.
