Indeed. I'm pissed that I won't be in Germany these coming months. I wanted to catch at least a few of the Crüxshadows shows. No one in the band, at least, minds my age. :p
We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc.
A few shows even? Wow, you must really like the Crüxshadows... I know their song Deception (and like it quite a bit) and that's where my Crüxshadows knowledge ends :) But there's some good darkwave out there :thumbsup:

Yesterday my wife stopped by a mexicanish fast food place to grab dinner. On the audio system was playing "Don't stop believing" by Journey and the 20 some girl in front of my 53 year old wife said to the teen behind the counter, "Hey, cool music" to wit the kid said "yeah", which is a lot for a teen boy. Anyway , all is not lost. .... And it's all mixed up too btw.

How could a 20 something have not heard that song umpteen times? Well, that just shows the venue a 20 something listens to isn't one I do. Of course, I grew up in an age when these songs were just hitting the charts and I don't know of any stations that are playing songs that are just topping the charts now. That's even in a strange area where I don't know the stations. They're either playing this type of music or "classical". Maybe I'm switching channels because they are playing just noise and I don't register it?? I remember when I was a teen, what I was listening to was just noise, corrupting "our" young. Do we have people now who are introducing a new song every week and I don't know it because it's just noise?

:) My vanity would like to believe that, but honesty and integrity force me to say otherwise. :sigh:

You're not a trekkie? Or are you too young to get the reference? Did you know Spock just passed away? Of course you couldn't have known that when you wrote this.
Confusing Elves and Vulcans is a classic, especially if you once in a while get to see nerds dressed up as one or the other. And yes, it's right that I never claimed to have the power of precognition.

Wow, that proves you're old and you are over a decade younger than me. :) Didn't they stop teaching that about 20 years ago because it was old-fashioned?
Which proves my point. I grew up so long ago that honesty was still considered the best policy. :)

With people going to jail for renewed Ponsi schemes, wholesale bank failures because of sketchy business policies, makes you wonder how that ever got out of style. Maybe the huge bonuses and kick-backs without consequences happening at the same time?

Dishonesty and recklessness are hardly new inventions, but it is only recently that they have gone "mainstream". It used to be that the worst possible disaster that could befall a banker was to go bankrupt. He was totally ruined, both in society and in business. Even if he did later recover financially, he always had that cloud hovering over him. This tended to limit bankers' risk-taking. Nowadays, on the other hand...

Nice application of your tag line. I get the feeling now that if anyone mentioned Churchill, half the world would say "Who?" They also wouldn't know the quote, "Anyone who doesn't know history is doomed to repeat it." (I don't remember who said it, so much for remembering history.)
