Things Keep Getting Older
Here's a list of 10 things turning 20 and 10 things turning 40 this year. As there is no designation for things turning 30 this year, here's 10 of 'em: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Sonic Youth, Stripes, "Super Freak," The Road Warrior, Metallica, Polyester, "Tempted," A Light in the Attic and "The Smurfs" cartoon. You will feel young or old accordingly.
Young!
Also 30: Wild Gift. As in, We're desperate, get used to it.
And yet no one mentions Super Nintendo and Tailhook.
That 40 list is missing something. Like an iPhone.
Turning 50: 1961, the last upside down year until 6009.
Other things turning thirty this year: HeyThatsMyBike! So I feel neither old nor young reading this. It's just right.
