You know you are getting old when:

The arrival of the Beatles also brought about the beginning of the end for this :

There was one located practically in every corner of the city & were as common as my
own Beetle ...which is still in fine running condition !

Not entirely a bad thing. My current stylist is a lot more skilled than the old timey barbers when it came to cutting hair, at least as far as my own appearances. And she's a lot easier on my eyes.

I do miss the hot lather straight razor shaves, however. They were a sublime experience.

Life as I knew it ended 9 Feb 1964....when the Beetles came to town.

I always preferred the Stones, anyway.

 

[LizzieMaine]

I loved my Beetle, actually. A honestly-built proletarian car. And yeah, I know, but so was Henry Ford.

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

I always preferred the Stones, anyway.

Yeah, Fred and Barney.

Butch Stone was a pretty good singer with Les Brown's band. I didn't realize he had a brother.

My barber, Biff still uses the straight razor, and hot towel. Yes biff is easy on the eyes also. Oh yeah, Biff is short for Elizabeth!

Yes the fame of those: "Easy on the eye," barbers, has reached our shores:

Bikini Barbershop.

Hmmmmm...I'll have to see if we have one around here.

My barber is an old HS school mate. I don't drop by very often. When he's done with you there's more talk in the air than hair on the floor.....but sometimes too much hair on the floor also.:eusa_doh:

On 16 August 1977 I found myself realizing I was not immortal as I always thought I was. Sad day for me and...Elvis.

Yes, that was a bad day. I remember all the news coverage---as if a President had died.

 

[LizzieMaine]

What I remember most is that Groucho died three days later, and got hardly any coverage at all because all they could talk about was ELVIS ELVIS ELVIS. Once again, postwar culture overwhelms the culture it replaced.

I remember Groucho and it saddened me greatly when this guy passed, I enjoyed watching him as a kid and I enjoy remembering him today.

As long as I can remember, I don't care how old I get. Take away my memory, I hope someone will put me out of my misery.

Elvis was 42, and Groucho was 87 hen they died. I think it was a shock at the time because many perceived it as a situation of his dying young. As one aspect of this consideration, Presley's daughter was nine at the time he died. I also think that the details of his drug abuse that came out shortly after his death shocked a lot of people, since the effort was always to make him appear as the epitome of wholesomeness.

Groucho's end was pretty sad as well. From what I recall, he was pretty frail in body and mind, and he had a younger woman living with him who was trying to take unfair advantage of him, at least according to his son.

Another way you know you are getting old----when gold diggers start latching onto you. :doh:
