4. They need an "Oldies Rap" station! LOL!
I can hear it now! NWA, Easy-E, 2LiveCrew, Westside Connection...

I remember when they first came out.. that's when gangsta rap first hit the scene....

I liked the video they did together..

37. What's even stranger is the fact that I don't know how the radio got
on that station. I'm the only one that drives my vehicle, except for letting the kids drive around on the property, but they listen to my Kid Rock CD or some of their own stuff..

I do like some oldies once in a while though...

40. They were great if you were into heavy metal.. they also did some decent ballads
They were an acquired taste for me. When I first heard Axl Rose (the lead singer)singing 'Sweet Child o' Mine' all I could think of was 'Edith Bunker on crack'...

41. No, the only chat rooms I ever hung out at were on BellSouth
they didn't have audio... but we did learn how to decompile the jar files for WBChat (their client) and reprogrammed them to where we could boot people out of the rooms and put macros up on the screen...

45. Want me to tell you about having to listen to Eddie Arnold's 'Lonesome Cattle Call'
a few too many times in my younger life? I can *STILL* hear that song in my head, though I probably haven't heard it since I was 10....

And we won't touch on the Mule Skinner Blues...

47. A girl I worked with a few years ago, made me feel old.
I was working at Target and I found Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA on CD. It did not have a price tag and I took it up front to have them scan it so I could get a tag on it. I asked her to tell me how much the Boss was. She said "who?" I aged so much at that moment.
