I’m not ready for the hiked-up pants and black socks with garters yet. I’m still working on my premature mid-life crisis. if I could only grow a ponytail…

We are old. I can identify more with someone in their 60’s than I can someone who’s 15.
Come on guys, lets all just put on some checked pants, hike em up over our guts, stand in the front yard with a hose and a scowl. Thats the life for me.

Anything to escape My Humps.

Oft-repeated anecdote alert.

I attended a borderline punk show at the National Guard Armory (or something) in Berkeley in 1988, and one of the opening acts was No Doubt, who were then a blue-eyed funk band in the Red Hot Chili Peppers mode.

Moments after Gwen Stefani took the stage and started working the boards, a female friend of mine turned to me and said, “I hate her. She thinks she’s hot.”

I didn’t have quite the same reaction watching it. Not that I liked it. But I just thought it was weird that Fergie’s “London Bridge” sounds like a rip-off of “Hollaback” and “Wind It Up” sounds like a rip-off of Fergie. And then my head exploded.

As Cory reminds me on a weekly basis, we are simply old.

I haven’t seen the “SNL” performance you refere to, but I’d have to say that “My Humps” signaled the end of times. I can’t imagine a worse song existing.
