I am *officially* old.

[flvegan]

Tonight's Saturday Night Live, I have no idea who the host is nor who the musical guest is. To top it off, they announced the lineup for next week, and guess what? No clue who the host nor the musical guest is.

Never heard of any of these people, and they need to stay off my lawn, dammit!

[ulysses]

1. shit - it's all I can do to find the TV these days.

Care to pull up a rocker?

[KitchenWitch]

2. welcome to the club

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Us too!

:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. James Franco was in Spider-Man.

He played the Green Goblin's son and later, the Green Goblin himself.

Next week's host, Anna Faris, is the blonde girl in all the "Scary Movie" movies.

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. James Franco and Kings of Leon right?

I like them both.

James Franco played Harry in Spider Man and is currently staring in Pineapple Express. Kings of Leon sing Molly Chambers, which played on some car ad I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOX8T5aH2IA

[LeftyMom]

6. That doesn't make you old, just too smart to waste time on shitty pop culture crap.

Either that or I'm too old too. And since I'm 27, I'm guessing that's not it.

We just have exceptionally good taste. :)

[AlCzervik]

7. James Franco, i only know him from Freaks and Geeks, i loved that show. I know i'm

old because i won't even make it up to 11:30 to watch.

[LanternWaste]

60. Ahhh.... Freaks and Geeks.

Ahhh.... Freaks and Geeks. The most non-fictional fictional portrayal of 80's HS known to the civilized world. :thumbsup:




Patiently counting the days til I have the cash to buy it on DVD :)

[Left Is Write]

8. I feel the same way, and it's because of the same show!

I didn't know James Franco either, but I was JUST thinking about how...er..hot he is, when "The Cougar Den" sketch came on.

And I realized the Cougars were all played by women younger than I am.

Somebody pass me a Bellini and a Xanax.

:banghead:

[flvegan]

9. And sweet trailerhitch jeebus, Kings of Leon sucks.

No offense to anyone, just my opinion.

[Left Is Write]

11. It's horrible to be old and irrelevant.

On the bright side, they just nailed the college RA mentality in the opening. Apparently not much has changed since I was in college almost a quarter of a century ago.

[AlCzervik]

12. i just them out on itunes, blech.

[Left Is Write]

18. Okay the segment with Kings Of Leon just came on here. You're right.

They suck. Hard.

[JeffR]

30. I've been in half a dozen bands better than Kings of Leon

and everyone of those bands sucked. Hard.

[flvegan]

32. I'm a studied drummer and self-learned guitarist who sucks at both

and I could do better than them solo.

[JeffR]

35. I for one can't wait to see you on SNL.

It will be a huge improvement over the acts they book these days.

[tigereye]

40. they just seem like old hairy rehashes of 70s bands...

"I've seen it."

[Fran Kubelik]

57. A-greed.

Boring, generic. Blargh.

[Lil Missy]

10. Oh, for fuck sakes, ya little whippersnapper.

Have you broken 30, or even 40 years old yet?

You're just a pup.

And, quit bringing your rescues into my yard, goddammit! They are just "pretending" to be adorable. It's a trick!













:)

[flvegan]

13. I'm all of 36.

It's my midlife crisis striking early, I fear. I sense a Porsche in my future...

[AlCzervik]

14. you have 6 more years for that.

i know.

[Left Is Write]

19. Oh, great. I'm six years older than he is...

:P

[LeftyMom]

21. That means you get a Porsche.

Tell Mr. LIW you want one of those big ribbons on top like a Lexus commercial too. :D

[AlCzervik]

23. get thee to the dealer!

my husband drove shitboxes for 15 years so finally he starts making money and he needs a car ok, so anyhow the town we grew up in was the type of place that when you made it you bought a cadillac, now hubby is italian and the whole caddy thing, well i just kept my mouth shut. Anyhow he ended with a Porsche and now his job keeps him overseas 7 to 8 months a year so that spiffy new Porsche just sits in the garage.

[Fran Kubelik]

58. You should be driving the Porsche!!!

!!!!!!

[Lil Missy]

22. And it will be a red one, right?

:-)

[LeftyMom]

24. He just bought a fast red car.

He's already done the sexy younger girlfriend thing. Next step is to get a tattoo. :D

[Lil Missy]

28. LOL! I just KNEW it would be a red car!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

29. Of course.

So the next thing on the midlife crisis checklist is a tattoo.

[flvegan]

33. Don't mock the Mazdaspeed!

[LeftyMom]

37. What are you going to do about it?

:evilgrin:

[ThePowerofWill]

41. I do pity you.

I am just now coming out of my midlife crisis. Mine started about 35/36 to. It's hard coming to terms with becoming older. I had this whole sense of who and what i was that kinda came crashing down around me. I started losing the physical tools that had made me who i was. Coupled with my kids becoming independent, and leaving in this period, i had a hard time redefining me.

Now though here some years later i'm finding that i have new tools, and talents that i did not have, or use before. No i don't care whats cool or in, i care and think more about other things that actually matter. I also actually posses way more patience, and tolerance than i ever did. It was almost like becoming a teen and working my way into adulthood. Except the hormones are not raging, waning.

It can be a rough trip, but there are some rich rewards at the resolution.

[RetroLounge]

46. That's not a midlife crisis

A midlife crisis would involve a hot vegan younger girlfriend in another state.

and you move across the country to be with her, driving your new Porsche...

:9

RL

[LeftyMom]

48. I like this concept so far.

But I still think that as part of this midlife crisis thing her needs a tattoo. Maybe just because I think they're hot.

[RetroLounge]

49. Oh, I figured he already had one...

Yes, definitely needs ink for a REAL mid-life crisis.

RL

[LeftyMom]

51. Nope.

Entirely too clean cut for his own good, that one is.

[LeftyMom]

15. He's 36, going on 80.

Really, it's just because he wants an excuse to be a dirty old man. ;)

[Jamastiene]

16. I have a collection of baseballs, 2 cats, and I was

talking to a wild dog in my yard like he actually understood what I was saying. Then again, he did go lay down when I told him I didn't have any leftovers yet, but was going to get food. :think:

In any case, I haven't seen anything remotely resembling Rock and Roll to me since the 50th wave of punk in the mid to late 90s. I don't count the angry white right wing male Limp Biscuit type stuff at all as Rock and Roll either. *cringe*

Don't feel bad. I'm officially old now too. I'm turning into the crazy lady with all the cats who keeps the kids' baseballs. So far, I have 5 of them. Two since moving to this place 5 years ago. There are probably more, but I haven't looked closely at the yard. I know the kids cross to the other side of the street when they see me...the smart ones do anyhow.

[flvegan]

17. My only anchor, my only salvation

is wondering why SNL, with their political bend, isn't putting a reunited Rage Against the Machine on the show. Or, oh, hey here's one...Rise Against has a new disc coming out. Yet, they front this garbage.

Confession: at the time, I liked early Limp Bizkit. I did do it all for the nookie. Now it's just good gym music.

[LeftyMom]

20. Snyergy.

Almost invariably, the "musical" act or d list celebrity hosting the show has a project coming out from another division of whichever corporate monolith owns NBC.

There's no incentive to book great acts owned by the competition when you can boost the mediocre sales of your own crap.

[Jamastiene]

36. God, I love RATM.

I miss that era in music so bad right about now. I found About A Son on You Tube earlier and watched it. It left be feeling this strange surreal "where did all those years go" feeling.

[Skittles]

25. I think you officially need an ass-kicking

I am 51 and know of both the host and the musical guest

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. I'm so old I remember when REAL bands played SNL

Even when their singer had a bad case of laryngitis.... or a bad batch of coke maybe?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JLpt3rcyws

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear flvegan!

Pfffffft...

Amateur...

I'M OLD, KIDDO...

And you aren't ...

No matter how unfamiliar SNL looks to you!

:P

[Left Is Write]

31. Something silly just occurred to me. It was SNL that made me feel "officially" old ...

...and not the fact that I became a grandmother last week!

:rofl:

[flvegan]

34. Yeah, but you're still one

really, really, really hawt woman that happens to be a grandmother now.

Congrats again, btw.

[tigereye]

38. that has been happening to me for a long time

and I still read some hipster music mags. It doesn't seem to help.

You could argue that you have just simply landed "above the fray" created by clueless agents and producers, though. :rofl:

[Inchworm]

39. I didn't know the host either

The band, I've heard.

Old indeed.

:hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

42. Me to fivegan

I did not recognise SNL Where was BaBaWaWa ? where was Belushi? where was Mr Bill :rofl: :shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

43. Hell

I fell asleep before it was even on.

Now, that's old!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

44. Never trust anybody under thirty ...if you are still under thirty...

then I will still like you but, I will continue to look at you suspiciously :D

[Beaverhausen]

45. I heard Kings of Leon open for Dylan (talk about old) and liked them. I also saw James Franco

one night out in Hollywood. He was at the House of Blues. He was in City By the Sea- a great film that came out around 9 years ago. He held his own against DeNiro.

I liked Kings of Leon's first song last night- didn't stay awake long enough to hear the second. I AM old.

[Lucian]

47. I had no idea either.

And I'm about ten years younger than you.

[quip]

50. Are you still alive?

:shrug: :rofl:

[libodem]

52. You poor, poor old thing

Doncha know nuthing? People who eat sprouts never grow old. And speaking of things one does not know I was introduced to clips of 'Corkey And The Juice Pigs' last night by the son of my friends. OMG, they are funny. If I knew how to port, Youtube, clips to the lounge I could make you forget your ancientness, by making you fall to the floor in gales of laughter.

[pokerfan]

53. Forty is the old age of youth

Fifty is the youth of old age.

[Brewman_Jax]

54. Here ya go...

:silly:

Don't feel too bad. I quit watching SNL a long time ago.

[lady raven]

55. Don't feel bad, I didn't have a clue who they were either. n/t

[jeff30997]

56. 1000 posts !

Congratulations !!! :toast: :party::toast:

[Missy Vixen]

59. I want to have a midlife crisis, too

Mine, of course, would consist of driving a really hot car, being worshiped by a younger man, and not caring who was on SNL. After all, I'd be much too busy to watch it. ;-)
