OMG, I'm getting old!

[SeattleGirl]

Watching The Colbert Report, and Peter Frampton is on. I have his Frampton Comes Alive album, and haven't seen a picture of him since the cover shot on that album.

Now, his hair is SHORT, and WHITE, and he's going BALD! :cry: (He can still play a mean guitar, though.)

Man, I gotta get out more!

[KitchenWitch]

1. Alas we are all getting old!

:banghead:

[SeattleGirl]

3. But, but, Kitchey.

My mind still feels young! So how can I be OLDER?? :cry:

[KitchenWitch]

6. I don't know!

My mind is still in its mid-twenties...how can I be some (deleted) years older?

[Heidi]

2. Everyone was younger in 1976 than they are now, my friend.

:hug: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

5. I know. (pout)

:hug: :hug:

[Hardrada]

57. Or 1966.

[billyskank]

70. I was a foetus in 1976

before July 2nd, and then I was a little screaming baby after that. :hi:

[SPKrazy]

4. Wow, I Am Too!

Frampton comes alive

:patriot:

[SeattleGirl]

8. God, I love that album!

:patriot:

[SPKrazy]

9. I wonder if I'm dreaming

great album!

album?

what's that?

feel old!


:P

[SeattleGirl]

15. Yikes!

Stop reminding me that I've gotten older, OR. I'LL. TELL. MOM!! :P

[AngusMacBangus]

7. Frampton who??

Sorry!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Youngster!

:rofl:

Frampton Comes Alive

[gr8dane_daddy]

14. Wasn't he the dude who made it guitar talk?

copied it from Eddie Van Halen?????

[KitchenWitch]

16. Jeff Beck! not EVH!

:P

[Nicole]

11. I know the feeling

I was shocked last time I saw him.

I feel the same when I see James Taylor too. :(

[SPKrazy]

12. Oh Man, I Can't Handle This!

James Taylor is reminding me I'm old too!

;)

[Nicole]

17. Sucks don't it

:(

[SPKrazy]

19. What A Drag It Is

getting o..?

:-( :pals:

[Nicole]

23. I hear ya

The big 50 is approaching too fast. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Actually, 50 ain't so very bad.

I just turned 51 a couple of months ago, and despite what it says on my birth certificate, I'm not living the way I used to see 50 as being.

It'll be fine!

[Nicole]

28. Thanks for that.

I know I dreaded 40 & it turned out to be a non-event. :)

[SeattleGirl]

33. Plan something special for the big 5-0.

Make it a celebration! :party: :toast: :party:

[Nicole]

35. I'm already planning on it

I'm actively searching for a boy toy to celebrate it with. That gives me a couple of years to find him. :toast:

[SeattleGirl]

38. Well, there you go!

Sounds like a good plan! :toast:

[Nicole]

41. I hope so

On that note, I think I will hit the bed & dream about it. :rofl:

Good night. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

43. "Pleasant" dreams!

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

75. Coming Soon Enough For Me

less than 5 years now!

[SeattleGirl]

13. James Taylor wasn't as shocking, because I'd seen him off and on

over the years. But it has literally been 30 years since I saw Frampton, so yikes!

[Nicole]

18. That's true, it wasn't as bad

I saw Frampton a few times over the years so it wasn't quite the shock for me.

[zanne]

74. Remember Mud Slide Slim?

When I compare that album cover to the way he looks now, I just want to cry. I saw him on NPR last week, wearing a suit and tie.

[Nicole]

20. I just got my vinyl out & put it on the turntable

It's surprising to see only 2 songs on one side of the record. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

21. Wish I still HAD a turntable. Mine isn't working any more.

I have two boxes of albums I can't listen to any more.

[Nicole]

22. I had to special order mine

They don't stock them anymore.

I forgot that "Do you feel like we do" was so long. It's 14:15 minutes so it's one of two songs on side 4. "Lines on my face" is the other one, at 7:06 minutes.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Oh, the days of the very long songs.

I think many of them were done so people could listen to them as they smoked their pot....added to the experience. Least it did for me. :evilgrin:

But those experiences were also about 30 years ago.

[Nicole]

27. I think you're right

but I could be wrong.

I seem to have forgotten some stuff that happened back then though. I think eating chips was involved. :smoke:

[SeattleGirl]

30. Oh man, the midnight runs to the 7-11!

:rofl:

[Nicole]

34. And Taco Bell

I would never go to Taco Bell during the day. :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

44. Still remember the last time I had one of those midnight runs.

Me and my two friends must have bought the store out! If I go into 7-11 now, I have flashbacks! :rofl:

[Hardrada]

59. How 'bout getting wrecked and ending up

at a White Castle??

[SeattleGirl]

62. There weren't any White Castles around where I lived at the time.

Least, not that I recall. OMG, maybe there WERE and I can't remember! :rofl:

[Hardrada]

64. After Nixon was elected the first time

I can't recall about two weeks! I think I lived on hot dogs in the Student Union.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

73. I haven't been that wrecked ...

since Mick Jagger looked young.

But when you're hammered, a bag of sliders tastes pretty good.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

78. Go to sonystyle.com

They have automatic turntables for $100. :thumbsup:

[Robeson]

26. You really are getting old, SeattleGirl....

...he's lived here in Nashville for years, and has been getting white-headed and bald for quite some time. You really need to consider Happy Oaks Retirement Home at this point.... }(

[SeattleGirl]

31. ROFL!!!

And just for that: :spank: :spank: :spank:

(See, I ain't so very old! Still a lot of spankin's left in this Girl! :evilgrin: )

[Robeson]

40. Thanks for the spankin' SeattleGirl....

....didn't know you still had it in those old bones....:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

42. The "old bones" still have lots of mileage in 'em!

:evilgrin:

[cemaphonic]

79. Yeah, I met him about 10 years ago

He was looking pretty bald then too. I was 2 in 1976, so Frampton getting old doesn't faze me much. What does get me is that Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson are all pushing 50.

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Y'mean this'un?

[SeattleGirl]

32. One and the same.

Man, I had such a crush on him! Plus, I had a really good friend at the time who could have been Frampton's brother, so guess who else I had a crush on.

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. 'Frampton Comes Alive' messed him up

All of a sudden he was the "cute" one, and his label wanted him to record teenybopper crap. Fucking shame, since he's considered one of the best session guitarists in the business.



Remember his next album?

:puke:

[SeattleGirl]

45. I've got that one too. Don't know why, 'cause I didn't like it much.

You're right, though. He is one of the best session guys around. Guess he came to his senses.

[Oeditpus Rex]

48. Yeah...

After he went broke.

[SeattleGirl]

49. Being broke can sure wake a person up, bring 'em to their senses.

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. Hasn't worked for me

[SeattleGirl]

52. Well, you ARE "unique"....

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

54. Not to mention euphonious

If anybody can identify that reference, I'll rake their leaves.

[SeattleGirl]

55. I'm guessing it may have something to do with Monty Python.

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

56. Nope

Y'gotta go back about 15 years. Right medium, though. :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

58. Damn, then I guess I don't get the leaves raked.

x(

[Oeditpus Rex]

60. Hint:

[SeattleGirl]

65. Think I've got it!

Lucy: I want the names to be unique and euphonious.

Ricky: Okay. Unique if it's a boy, and Euphonious if it's a girl.


:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

66. YES!

:bounce: :woohoo: :yourock:

[SeattleGirl]

67. Woohoo!!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:


So, when you gonna get here? Still got lots of leaves that need rakin'! B-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

68. You got it on a hint

So I'm only rakin' the living room. :P




"You haven't mentioned the baby once all night! You don't love little Madelyn or Pierpont!"

[SeattleGirl]

71. No fair, dude!

You have to tell me ALL THE RULES before you start the game! :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

72. Since when?

Women have been making up and changing the rules as they go along for centuries. x(

[SeattleGirl]

76. Ah, but you must understand, Oedi.

The first rule in the Book of Women is that we can change the rules any time we want. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

37. I'm not, I'm regressing towards birth

:P

[SeattleGirl]

46. Hahahaha!

One thing I'd have to say -- no WAY would I want to go back to the teen years! :scared:

[billyskank]

51. Yikes! Imagine going through puberty again!

Backwards! :scared:

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

53. God, it was bad enough going through it frontward!

:rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

39. your not old...

just experienced!...:D

[SeattleGirl]

47. Why thank you!

Guess I am, at that! :*

[Guava Jelly]

61. Frampton Comes Alive is a Great Album!

I have it on my Ipod ,on cd ,and Vinyl
Lines on my face ,Winds of change,Baby i love your way are my favs on the cd.

[SeattleGirl]

63. I should get the CD so I can listen to it again.

Been a long time.

[chknltl]

69. Gettin old is better than the alternative...well maybe not....

...the gettin younger alternative...then again...no wait...maybe a do-over would work say about age 21...then you could chum up with that Gates fellow from Crabwell Corners...or was he from Crabwell Corners, no that would have been that fella who married my sister's best friend Edna, boy could she cook a mean pot-roast...

Ok so much for my Hank Kimbal imitation..... I enjoyed Peter Frampton's guitar even before he went solo in the band Humble Pie. I was 16 back in '70 when we got to see them, my second concert ever! (Pink Floyd was first). He left that band just after recording "Rockin the Filmore" It was perhaps 3-4 years later if memory serves that I got to see him on his Frampton Comes Alive tour in Seattle. He had another Solo artist open for him: Gary Wright, (remember "Dream Weaver"?). Gary Wright was someone whom I had also enjoyed in an earlier band called "Spooky Tooth".

Colbert Show rocked off the hook tonight, Frampton is as classy as ever and he won imho.


(Just in case: "Hank Kimball": He was in a "...Filmways Presentation Dahling." ...does that help?)

[SeattleGirl]

85. The end of the Colbert Report last night was da bomb!

I would love to have been in that audience for that!

[SteppingRazor]

77. Peter who?

:shrug:




















HA! Kidding. Just tryin' to make you feel even older :evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

82. Gee, thanks.....

:spank: :rofl:

[RetroLounge]

80. In 1976 I was but a mere 15...

and I loved that album!

:hi:

RL

[SeattleGirl]

83. My, but you were young!

I was a mature 21 in 1976..... :P

:*

[RetroLounge]

90. You should have corrupted me then!

while I was still innocent...

:9

RL

[SeattleGirl]

91. Drat! Missed my chance!

x(

[MorningGlow]

81. DH and I let out a yelp

watching a world music show that interviewed Robert Plant--talk about YIKES wha' happen'????

Not to mention that Peter Gabriel now looks like Dr. Evil... :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

84. Oh no! I think I'm glad I didn't see that....

:scared:

[NewJeffCT]

86. I was doing similar the other day...

I couldn't believe it was almost 30 years ago that Van Halen put out their first album...

[SeattleGirl]

87. My, how time flies.

I still can't figure out how I haven't gotten any older.....:rofl:

[matcom]

88. your not getting old

just closer to death ;)

[SeattleGirl]

89. Bwahahaha!

Comforting thought, that. :P

[Anarcho-Socialist]

92. I prefer this album
