You just know you're getting old when...

Some of their stuff would make interesting ringtones today.

I agree.

You know your getting old when you get a hair cut and they offer to trim your eyebrows for you.

I remembered only the old guys getting that question asked when I was a kid.

A little before my time but they put out some great music. It's a shame he died before he was inducted into the HOF.

The kids are wearing styles similair to the things that have already been out once or twice before, songs are being remade and they are taking comic books and old T.V. shows to make movies out of - What's to really feel old about?

Right before I had mine trimmed for the first time I was asked if I would like them braided.

Or when your nephews look at you increduously and say "you saw these guys in concert and you paid how much ?"

Or the hair on your ears grows faster than the hair (if you have any) on your head.

Still clean-shaven. Can't have a beard when it's gray, gotta wait til it turns white.

The girl that cuts my hair used to ask if I wanted the eyebrows trimmed. I always said no, because I do them when I get home after a haircut. Well, she doesn't ask anymore, just does it. Guess it really bugged her...

You mention a movie and series of movies - and they never heard of them (Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club).
You mention the main actor - and they never heard of him (Micheal J Fox, Matthew Broderick, Molly Ringwald).
You mention any of the musicians, like Huey Lewis and the News or Simple Minds - ok, MAYBE that's ok. Nobody really remembers them anymore.

Because it was BEFORE THEY WERE BORN. Aaargh.
