- Go to Out Behind the Barn...
Babe,
I know what you mean. The same thing happens to me. Sometimes a jingle for a TV advertisement does that. It's usually one that I can't stand, for a product that I'm not the least bit interested in. I think reading your comment on this post is going to give me ''Out Behind the Barn'' fever for the rest of the day. Maybe a good, hard listen to the Rolling Stones will clear it out. ''Satisfaction'' usually clears other stuff out. Or the guitar in ''All Over Now.'' Oh no!! Bob Dylan is cutting in...Lost in the Rain in Juarez...AAaaarrgh. I have to take a break.
Thanks for the comment. Now I just have to go out behind the barn for a smoke. Some kids left a pack out there.

When somebody brings up an old tune like that it goes around and around in my head all day :(

mpo,
Nice to see you. I have seen the age distinction thing so many times that I can't even recall the first one. The one that you are talking about is one of the classics. I recall an old Star Trek story that dealt with exactly the same thing. The kids referred to anyone over the age of about 13 as ''Grups.'' I think it had something to do with a chemical in their atmosphere that kept them from getting any older. Some of them did, but then the kids took them out and abandoned them in the middle of nowhere, or something like that, to get rid of them.
I think Captain Kirk and Spock fixed the atmosphere. The populace then all got old overnight and dropped dead. I've seen a few kids I wouldn't mind doing that to.
Actually, the song and the artist are pretty old. And it was old school, country music so you probably wouldn't have heard it even if it did get replays at a time when you might have. I wouldn't have heard it either, if it hadn't been for a car radio tuned to a station in Sparks, Nevada. More Cowboy than Coworado, by a long shot.

Hi, Jack.
As you might have guessed, I've never heard of that song, or that singer.
On the subject of "age gaps", just this week I found out that, in the eyes of our neighbor's young boys, my mother and I are the "hot older women". As if the difference in age between she and I was essentially neglible (relative to their's).
B.U.I.
