Here is a list of the differences between us and the kids graduating from high school this year:
They were children when the Soviet Union
broke apart and do not remember
the Cold War.
They have never feared a nuclear war.
"The Day After" is a pill to
them, not a movie.
Bottle caps have always been screw off
and plastic.
The expression "you sound like a
broken record" means nothing to
them.
They have always had an answering
machine.
Most have never seen a TV set with
only 13 channels, nor have they
seen a black-and-white TV.
They have always had cable.
There have always been VCR's, but they
have no idea what BETA is.
They cannot fathom not having a remote
control.
Roller-skating has always meant inline
for them.
The Tonight Show has always been with
Jay Leno.
They have no idea when or why Jordache
jeans were cool.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the
microwave.
They never took a swim and thought
about Jaws.
They don't know who Mork was or where
he was from.
The Titanic was found? They think that
we always knew where it was.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and
Alabama are places, not
groups.
McDonald's products have never come in
Styrofoam containers.
There has always been MTV. |

Fuck that! I don't think my older brothers knew what life was without a remote control either. I was their remote control! |

i hate to burst your bubble sweety, but the only redneck group from this list is alabama. the term redneck rock comes from the geographic location and not the time line. oh my god i'm old  |

| Well thanx for the explanation Monkey... I thought a redneck was simply a dirty white Gringo who likes oki-music, and all those groups to me seem to play oki- music, but I guess I am too young to understand that. |
