Yep. I never heard that term before until last summer and I'm 57.
Any guess what this is?

Last night buying a ice cream for me and my one boy, "Yellow submarine" was playing on the store's speaker system. The young girl ringing us up was actually singing the lyrics to the song.
I asked her if she knew who sang it, and she sheepishly admitted that she didn't (to my surprise, my boy didn't either).
THAT is a whippersnapper.

Hah. I remember when Roosevelt (Franklin Delano) was president. I also remember when A/C could only be found in the movie theaters. We moved into a garage apartment just before our first baby was born. It was unbearably hot in the Summer, so I went deeply into debt to buy a new Fedders window unit...about $250.00 as I recall, installed. It ran day and night, but it was worth it. When I was growing up, our A/C was open windows and a nice Southerly breeze. Later, in the latter part of the 1950's, Dad put in a swamp cooler which worked good when the humidity was low.

I stopped in the Tobacco Barn a year or so ago to get a can of fake snuff and 12 pack of beer. Young guy working behind the counter was listening to and humming “The old rugged cross”.

Florida this year, family vacation, got into an "in depth discussion" with my son that Darius Rucker was the lead singer for Hootie and Blowfish. Flagged down "20 year old looking fellow" going to his car from the complex asking him if he knew who Darius Rucker was. He told me he knew Mr. Rucker and his country songs.
I then found out that apparently Mr. Rucker has had a successful country singing career as well:laughing:
Both my boy and the young gentleman I was talking to NEVER heard of Hootie and Blowfish.

Wagon wheel..

The ONLY reason I know that name is because my boy mentioned it, and I was like "who sings that?"
My boys know country isn't my thing.
That said, they didn't know UB40 covered Neil Diamond's Red Red Wine LOL
For some reason Neil always reminds me of Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass and Englebert Humperdinck, probably due to the late 60's. When my dad was overseas, I'd listen to his music on his reel to reel recorder.

I had to go back to post 1 trying to figure out what wagon wheel was. I remember when he first went country and had a popular tune come out. Not sure that was it.

This?
Listening to music on a reel to reel tape player kinda dates a fellow also. Back in the late 60s, early 70s, I had a pretty extensive collection of reel to reel music tapes. For a good while, the Army PXs had almost as many recorded reel to reel stuff as they did records.
I still have my old Akai 4 head reel to reel, but it lives in the attic now along with the Commodore 64 and 1541 tape player

My father enlisted in 1952. Your comment really explains why in the early 70's I was listening to a reel to reel as a young boy.
I bought my parents a new stero system in the very early 90's. Will be posting a question on a new stereo system for my father shortly...That SAME reel to reel is now sitting in my basement along with the system I bought my parents in the 90's. We need to keep the music, but lose all the equipment LOL

I've seen some hijacked threads, but this might be the biggest turn of conversation that I've seen so far!!!!!
Any guess what this (thread) is?

Being I'm the OP, still find it interesting
If you stop and think about it, not really. All about technology. Who would of thought of a $3,500 "non operated" remote controlled lawn mower even in the 1990's?

I'm not complaining. I've found that it's the hijacking that makes a thread interesting after the basic information for starting it has run it's course. I just can't think of one what went so far off course as this one!!!!
