I think that part of this is the experimentation thing...trying to have new interests to feel alive.
I also think, at least in my H's case, that knowing about the newer music showed he was not old...in his head.

Funny because at the same time, I found comfort going back to the music of my youth....showing I AM old.  HA!

Ah BonBon, you summed it up quite well.  I just couldn't find the words but you did.  Simple and true how if they hang on to new, lively, teenage music (or college depending how far back they are reaching) it helps them to feel young again.  I too found comfort (and fueled anger unfortunately in some) of the type of music I listened to from my youth.  Maybe Mitzpah has something as my wife has now reverted back say 80% to what she was listening to when we met.  Sometimes it is specific songs and I read that she is playing them to me to get my attention or get through to me that she is trying and she does care and love me.  But, thats the analysis paralysis I avoid at all costs.

Peace to you all

  Strange thing, a couple of weeks ago I was thinking, there really are not a lot of guys on here that post much. Being a guy I like to read the guys more so than anything, all of a sudden L2 shows up! Now I am thinking wtf happened to us, this was a busy forum, now we got invaded. Very different but it is growing on me. I spent to much time on here this weekend trying to keep up. I think the mix of the guys and gals is good. Hfb

LOL...Rider...blowing my mind...you are the hippie we all love...or THE DUDE!!!

Peace bro!


So if we take the thought that we marry the person we are at most conflict when we leave our parents...for me it is my father...I have started to teach myself a new mantra in Greek (or in Fringe speak...GEEK)

~na einai kalytero athropo apo ton patera toy~

translation: be a better man than your father

Wow, Rover.  I....don't know what to say.  Very deep and edumacated you are.

As for the music debate, my W started listening to Lady GaGa and Katy Perry as well.  She had always been into Black Sabbath, Rob Zombie and Korn but still always dabbled in some underground stuff as well.  The pop crap REALLY got annoying, but then she starting borrowing and lending 80's CD's with her lawyer friend and suddenly we were listening to "Hey Mickey" again.  Since I kept the iMac when she left, I probably have the greatest collection of 80's music in this county burned onto my hard drive and most of them came from lawyer boy.  Oh the sick irony.  Might fire up a little Genesis later.....

LT is back?!?  That's great but it means I have to catch up all the 500 posts that I was behind after not logging in for 2 weeks.  And I hope that all the LT guys continue to contribute here as I will.  I truly think the new and different perspectives combined with the regulars on here has so much potential to help us all understand this beast better.

I think they catch a train into the past..question is..do they ever realize they are going the wrong way ?...sad thing is..its usually a one way ticket
