lever-age ... points to ponder

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

lever-age ... points to ponder

Post by donlever »

Wanna feel old?

In 2026 these songs celebrate 50 years of existence.

Hotel California
Don't Fear the Reaper
More than a Feeling
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (sounds like a Cuz bio)
Go Your Own Way
The Boys are Back in Town

50 years before that Baby Face and Bye Bye Blackbird were 2 of the top hits of the day.

I can verify that 50 years ago then felt a whole helluva lot longer ago in the past than when Hotel California coming out does now.

Whenever I want to feel old, I consider that my birth year is closer to 1900 than today.

I just want to remind everyone here that their team of choice hasn't won a damn thing in 56 years... we're closer to Dust In The Wind than Lustin' The Win.

You made me wanna feel old, so I plugged in the Strat and wanked out the Hotel California solo a couple a times. So satisfying...

So you must be born in 1962 or earlier. 😋

Nah, for me that won't be the case until June. :look:

Or I guess for this full year you can consider it a tie.

So you are officially only middle-aged.

Never had a prescription - I have a pair that works great for my PC, another for my phone, and then about 20 random ones around the house. :D
