Dignabbit, kids these days
So I was at the grocery store today and I saw this old guy wearing an Ozzfest t-shirt. I mean, not an ancient guy... but a normal-looking middle-management-looking kind of guy with a beer gut and a bad haircut, a grumpy wife and a whiny kid. Old-looking for an Ozzfest shirt.
And not three minutes later there was this other old guy with a B-52s shirt stretched across his belly. He didn't have gray hair or anything like that; he was just—you know, not a kid.
Not that Ozzy hasn't been performing since the late '60s (when I was 8 or 9), and the B-52s since the mid-'70s (when I was 14 or 15). I got all the way down to the frozen food section before realizing that those old guys were both without a doubt younger than me. Which pretty much sucked.
