You know you're getting old when...

[unix-guy]

When you're at the grocery store for 10 minutes and hear first Ozzy's Mama I'm Coming Home and then Whitesnake's Is This Love? over the store's "easy listening" background music.

Now, granted, it's not Raining Blood, but still...

I heard Judas Priest at the post office.

 

[CodePoet]

Exactly! I'm always laughing at hearing what at the time was the "heaviest stuff ever" and it's background music now.

... most of your favorite albums are available as 50th anniversary box set editions

I heard a wedding band play Enter Sandman. When your music becomes considered safe for wedding receptions, you are officially old.

I assume you’ve heard this one but just in case…

I was at the local Toyota dealership last week waiting for the service to complete and "Unchained" came over the PA in the main store waiting area.

The same thoughts as the OP came to mind...while it was cool, I thought "wow, VH Unchained is elevator music for the shopping aisles now...???"

I have not. That is hysterical!

 

[Budda]

Well sure that's one sign.

I go by "going to the fridge and forgetting why"

 

[Dave Merrill]

I go by watching movies about dead rock stars. Multiple.

 

[Xrocker]

I actually heard Inna Godda Davida in the grocery store.

I can die now, I’ve seen everything.

you know you're old when you've been around for both of these Genesis tours rolling thru (queued up to illustrate)

 

[Tremonti]

I'm in Florida and Publix still favors Michael. If no one is around, I have to ferociously lip sync this...fake mic in hand too.

I had to find the original to cleanse my spirit

Non music reference...

“I keep forgetting to buy more stuff at Publix” perfect!

Sir, I must insist

 

[USMC_Trev]

I think it's more a sign that people are sick of musak and Yacht Rock.


But yeah you're old

I heard Judas Priest at the post office.

Breakin' the Law!!!
