Since I have been seeing age showing comments, may as well.....
you know you're getting old when...
1) you hear stairway to heaven in the elevator
2) you cringe and wonder what happened when you see VH1 behind the music
3) you jump excited to hear a familiar guitar riff ony to realize it was sampled by p. diddy
4) you see your lust fantasy when you were a teen then and NOW (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
5) you have to teel your children, No this is not a new song it was done in 19## by (fill in the blank)
6) your kids don't believe it waqs done at a earlier time
7) you wonder what happened to former rockers Sting, Phil Collins, Elton John and the like who went wussy
8) you know there's another Rolling Stones tour coming
9) you can still name all 5 original MTV Vj's
10) get the realization that in a few years you're he one in the Elks Lodge saying, "play that hungry like the wolf song again Martha" (OK that one was borrowed from maragret cho)

About no. 4 on TJ's list, they should never make those reunion shows on television.

You go to karaoke and sing with young people whose parents you went to high school with.
You are watching Jeopardy and start singing the questions (the answers, whatever!)
You wish The Mitch Miller show was still on TV so you could sing along.
You long to see reruns of The Ed Sullivan show so that you can see the groups that you sing "oldie" songs to.
Once you became addicted to karaoke, you changed your wardrobe to a newer, more jazzy, youthful style. You may have changed your hair too (mostly a ladies thing).

....you bowl up to a table of late teens/early twenties to do the fluffy Karaoke host thing and make 'em feel welcome and:-
a) They look uncomfortable b) You feel uncomfortable c) None of 'em try to get off with you. d) You get the agony aunt role as they air their relationship problems and you get to play Soloman.
geesh!

You know you're getting old when you have to explain what "scratching" was. (which leads into explainations of "record player", "LP", "45's", and other lingo involved with those good old turntables.

You know you're getting old when... -You remember AM radio stations playing TOP-40 music... -You could hardly wait until the local record shop got in the latest Beatles 45...

We have an AM station here that still plays Top 40 songs. Unfortunately, they are Top 40 of 1971.

Maybe it's just one of the early clues, but you look around the bar and think "Whose ID card to THESE kids have?
