Old Man Music

I went to the record store over the weekend.  I always love going in and browsing around.  One artist will remind me of another and then I'll stumble across something else.  There is nothing like going to the record store to remind you that you're old though.  First off, I buy CDs.  The act of buying any physical medium of music is a bit of an anachronism these days, but buy CDs is one step above buying 8 track tapes.  All the cool kids are buying vinyl and laughing at the ironic old stuff.  Well, I remember when some of that stuff was new, so I'll just shake my fist at them and tell them to get off of my lawn.

When it comes to what I purchased, it cries out old man.  Here is what I brought home:
Captain Beyond Live
New York Dolls
Alice Cooper (when that was a band)
Bo Diddly
Dean Martin
Jason and the Scorchers
A blues compilation of Rolling Stones songs
Junior Brown
Warren Zevon
The fact that I got Zevon's final album before he died is the only thing keeping me completely out of the 20th century.  I have to give credit to the guys behind the counter at Reckless Records though.  They manage to keep their snickering to a minimum while I buy my old man music.
