The list of things that make me feel my age is a very long list.

SAD! We used to watch Bob Hope walk his little doggie up and down N Palm Canyon Drive at 1am from the patio at Brandy's nightclub  . . . there are retro-revering millennials who know/love the old greats, but more are like Watters portrays them. And no, I don't feel old! I feel blessed to have come up in a world without Kardashians and autotune!

that happens all the time.... too often!!!

Who's Bob Hope?

Only when speaking about May West and W.C. Fields.

Sometime ago, I heard Joni Mitchell singing on the radio. My son asked who is Johnny Mitchell?

Until rencently I thought lady Gaga was a porno star..... Saw her singing at Superbowl.  I do not work with these younger generation mostly they are priced out of home market and other generation gap issues.

Just this week when I read the final episode of MASH was 30 years ago

It gets worse than that. I used to have people make comments about my name being Debbie Reynolds. Now the young people have no idea who she is and if a discussion arises where I mention it I have been told that their grandparents probably would know who she is because it is before their and their parents time. That is a real blow.

All too often of late Richie.  Mark

Thank goodness my grand kids keep me current with who is who..but not always guaranteed!!

I think the millenials scope of knowledge is super small.  I knew who a bunch of people "before my time" thanks to my Mom and Dad...and school.  I could recognize Presidents in pictures who weren't in office during my lifetime.  

And the first time I felt old was when I was in a car with buyers who loved "classic rock."  Journey's song Separate Ways was playing.  That was my moment.

Happens all the time.  And thanks for the memories.

Yes...and like you I feel my age.

Yes, a 15 year old was with us at dinner tonight and he didn't know who Brad Pitt was, or Angelina Jolie.

Every day of my life, Richie.  On the other hand, I had no idea who that Bieber kid was until he started showing up in People magazine because of his antics. 

No...but did you ever show a house with a milk and or clothes chute and they wonder why there are little doors in the walls..?

 I realize it is a hopeless situation 

I found out from someone we both graduated from the same high school, only I graduated 16 years before he did...

Oh yes.  About 20 years ago (when I was in my late teeens early 20s) I made a reference to something not too old and an early teen did not have a clue.  Really felt my age there.

I wouldn't feel bad about Bob Hope Richie.  I'm 37 and I barely know him.  I only know him from the USO shows.  And of course, Bob Hope International Airport in Burbank, where I fly out of.  I could see someone in their early 30s not even knowing who he is.

Yes, it's a problem isn't it. Often times they don't know most of what I would call intellectually famous. Should have thrown in John Wayne's name too.

Bob Who???

Sometimes I feel my age.  

Sometimes I feel even older.  

Sometimes I am glad I can still feel.

Good morning Richie. Of course it happens, but no different when we were their age and was asked about someone 50 years before us.

Pffft, I was really upset when all the baseball players were young enough to be my children

Yes Richie, I feel it often. I was born in 1958 and youngsters see things in a different way compared to you and I.

Yes, I've noticed when I mention the movie "Sybil" to millennials I usually get a blank stare!  That makes me feel old.

No...who's Bob Hope?

Bob Hope the famous rhinoplasty surgeon right?

No. 

According to Bob Hope, he was married in Erie PA, however there is no record at court house or church that can document this

All the time

Justin Bieber maybe

I work with many young individuals, and yep, I usually say that I am near 100 years old.....

Bope Hope who is he,   kidding but yes that would make me seem old.

Yes, when I use my "Johnny Carson" reference such as "the last envelope"

Who is Bob Hope??!! 

They truly don't know what they missed... a great entertainer! And yes, it happens more and more, but I too feel blessed that we were entertained by the best!

Not with Bob Hope, but with other facts. 

You should have used Ann-Margaret even I would have gotten it better!

And yes it has!

At my age, the perception is that I am out of touch with many things.

That happened to me in the 1980's with a couple of teens who didn't know who the Beatles were! Still haven't gotten over it!

No.

Richie,

No, it depends on the breadth of knowledge one is interested in.  I have seen very young kids know who Bob Hope is.  It has nothing to do with age. A

Bob Hope? Not a problem, That was a LOOOOONNNnnnnngggggg time ago.

The list of important folks, not entertainers, that are uknown from the time of Nam to present is troubling. But the all know the Kardashians.
