We're getting old FAST

Doesn't seem that long ago I seen Wes King in concert at a humble little Church near San Bernardino, CA. He was 25 at the time.

I followed his releases from the first day I heard his first radio hit back in 1990 ("Motivation") up until his last album in 2001... then heard about his illness in '05... he fought Lymphoma. They made a Tribute album for him to help pay medical bills - pretty good tribute.

Then he disappeared. I assume the last decade he's been living up to the name of his last album: "What Matters Most." Spending time with family and in the Word. I never heard anything on him since then and hoped he was doing ok.
Then I stumbled upon this: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Looks like he's still strummin' ! And he's not 25 anymore !! Then again, neither am I.

It's funny but nobody seems to hold on to 25 for more than a year.

Not Wes King related, but I was walking through Walmart today and saw some guy with a Bryan Duncan shirt from the Mercy tour. I hadn't thought about him until the other day when Randy Thomas posted some SCB video.

Dang, the Mercy tour was forever ago ! My kids were still living at home at that time.
Seems to be how I guage things these days- by the "kid timeline"... 1. Before kids. 2. Kids were young. 3. Kids were in high school. and 4. Kids moved out.

I came across a Rez clip on YT today, circa mid 80's <sigh> Anybody got a delorean I can borrow?

I saw one several months ago, but alas it didn't have a flux-capacitor.

I guess they don't need to generate 1.21 gigawatts then.

Great Scott!

I was at Bed Bath & Beyond a little while ago and was tempted to ask them if the had a Mr Fusion home energy reactor in stock.

I'm almost 36, and I've NEVER seen Back to the Future.

BUT, there were four shows that made up my childhood back in the '80's, which were:

The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team, Knight Rider, and MacGyver.

Don't feel bad, I've never seen a complete episode of McGyver.

Seen 'em all... and most of them make me wish I had that time back.

You'll laugh, you'll cry...you'll kiss 45 minutes of your life goodbye?

Not much is as good as you remember. When I was in school I loved "The Mysterious Cities Of Gold". I thought it was the best thing ever. A year or so ago someone brought me it for my birthday and I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes... YIKES! I doubt I'll ever be able to watch it all the way through! Some things don't age well.

Fundy

^ same with Mork and Mindy. I remembered that show fondly and wanted to see it again for years. The I finally rented the DVD series and was shocked at how silly in a non funny way it was. It was geared much more for kids apparently.

Had the same issue with Mork & Mindy. The wife & I both remembered loving it as kids so we brought it home from the library for our kids to watch. None of us could make it past three or fourepisodes...it just seemed really lame.

Ooh and the same with Adam 12 ! We went on this nostalgic trip a couple years back and I scored all seasons of Emergency! and Adam 12 from the Flea market. We watched Emergency and though it was a bit cheesy, we really enjoyed watching all those oldies and seeing so many guest stars that were just kids back then.
When we popped in Adam 12, we couldn't get past 3 episodes (just like you guys and Mork), they were SO awful ! Good thing I only paid 5 bucks for the entire set.
(Many of the Emergency and Adam12 episodes were filmed right on the streets where I lived as a kid in the 70s, so there was kind of a sentimental reason for wanting to see them again too - now if I can get ahold of some CHiPs dvds, I'll be set  )

I had something really funny to say about this thread...but I can't remember what it was..darn..what was it?

You know, they say that..well ..they say something is the first thing to go..I can't remember exactly what that is though either

 I read somewhere that there is a plant extract or vitamin that us old folks can take to help prevent memory loss....but I forgot what it was.
