    The kids love Led Zeplin, until you ask who John Paul Jones was. Or the three bands Page played beforeI hate CDs. The songs are in the wrong order.

    Heck, where I lived when I was in high school, in the late 70s, we only got two good channels and they frequently carried the same programs.

    Today’s strip brought back so many memories Of stories from my grannie (born in 1912), of me being too young to go to Woodstock (according to mom), mom’s stories of helping push granddad’s Model T to get it up some hills. – As to that last one, you don’t throw it out until it can no longer be repaired. Lo

    I don’t miss any of that stuff. Btw, we still watch air tv in our house, and we still get 3 good channels. I embrace technology, but I don’t embrace cable tv bills.

    HUNTER7 You make me mad. Ma Momma wouldn’t let me go either but on the back cover of the three album set is my brother smiling at the world. Remember when you wanted to be older?

    I remember NO TV. It had been INVENTED, but not in widespread use. I remember when the first TV in the neighborhood came, and all the neighborhood kids ( I was one ) stood crowded on their front porch, faces pressed up against their windows. RADIOS had TUBES. A later electronics class instructor taught “Tubes are like transistors, only hotter”.

    …And we were not in the ‘Boonies’. This was a nearby suburb of Boston. ( grumble, mutter…) Whippersnappers… Young Pups.

    Greg.,.. until those powdered wigs make a come back, you need to put yours in the attic, so it doesn’t ‘dust’ the comic strip. :D

    How to really scare them: “When I was your age, there was no internet and no cell phones.”

    Yeah, the younger kids don’t know what to make of that. Of course, there was a bunch of stuff our folks said of which we didn’t know what to make. (notice how I cleverly didn’t end that on a preposition)

    @Tina,I remember the first cell phone I ever saw. It was bigger than my current landline handset. Like a black brick with an antenna.

    I still have my first cell phone. It’s a bag phone with an old fashioned handset like the ones on the old black dial phones. No, I don’t still use it. I just haven’t figured out the best way of disposing of it.

    My folks still have an outhouse for when the grandkids and great grandkids visit. My wife and I still have 3 typewriters and several film cameras.
