The past few weekends we've been getting together with guys that Kent has class with. We've had them over to our house and made them play Cranium with us. We love Cranium but you can't play without at least three people and then one person has to float between teams. Anyway, onto the point of my story. One of the guys is 18 and one is 21. They had to answer a question about the band Nirvana. They'd never heard of them. I normally wouldn't say "the band Nirvana" because until two weeks ago I'd never encountered anyone who didn't know about them. I almost made them sleep on the porch.
Am I really getting so old that people only seven years younger than me don't know about Nirvana? I
am finding it harder to remember peoples' names and I've noticed that I no longer remember multiples of seven unless I use my fingers. Am I so old that one of the most important bands of the 1990s is no longer relevent? This is how I feel about that:

I sure as hell hope so.
You're not getting old. Maybe Nirvana just hasn't remained as influential as you thought. What ever the reason those kids didn't know of your band, it didn't have anything to do with age. The Beatles stopped making music long before Nirvana, but I bet the kids would recognize that name.
"Am I getting old?" The answer to such a question is: "I sure hope so because the alternative is not good!" Sleep when your dead.
