Well, we've never set the definition of an "old fart" -- so here is a quiz to see if you qualify:

Clearly I've got some work to do.

LOL! I'm among the oldest here and that is the exact same score I got @AllThatJazzZ . Never trust an on line survey.

I got 60%  -- so 40% of me is still a youngster.  :whistle:
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Those low scores kinda hurt your feelings, don't they? I didn't come this far not to be able to rock the "Old Fart" label.

Oh, well. At least I haven't started yelling at clouds. Yet.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Yes, thanks.


On the subject of old farts and why I assumed I was one, I've got a little story to tell that you might remember.

In the olden days when Dan Patrick ran the Houston talk radio market, we had it good here. We could listen to Rush live at 11 on 950 AM and catch it again on 700 AM (KSEV?) at 2 p.m. I was spoiled to this because I would get interrupted at work during Rush's show, and it afforded me the opportunity to hear what I'd missed.

My world took a hit when Dan left or restructured or whatever he did. We no longer had the rerun and, IIRC, Dan didn't call any of the shots anymore. Eventually some new owners/managers moved in and things really started changing. A lot of us were irked and weighed in. The new suits didn't appreciate that we didn't appreciate them, so they ragged on us. Someone referred to the previous format as "Old Fart radio." I'd be willing to bet it was Michael Berry, but I don't know that for sure. It does sound very Michael Berry-ish. BTW, you could tell that the new suits were so unfamiliar with Houston. I remember one traffic report when the reporter said there was heavy traffic at (whatever) Street and OST. The goober pronounced OST so that it rhymed with toast. Old Fart radio, my Texas tuches!

I remember those days very well myself. I was friend with Mike Richards and Kevin Price in the early days of KSEV and spoke with them regularly on that show.

@Bigun

Don't you think that sounds like a Michael Berry thing to say? He's not known to have a filter for the things he says. Not that that's a bad thing.  wink777

Dunno! I do know that I think Michael is the closest thing to Rush on the radio today. (Can't stand Buck and Travis.)

@Bigun

When he's focused on current events as opposed to jibber-jabber, he's really good. Unfortunately, Rush can never be equaled. Like you, I'm not a Clay and Buck fan. I don't know how that decision was ever made.

P.S. I was crazy about Mike Richards. I hope he's doing well. I don't think I remember Kevin Price.

Gotta go vote! Later, y'all.

Before the days of Rush, there was a rock station in Houston called KSRR - Kick Ass Rock-n-Roll.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Kevin Price ( Kevin is now here ) was Mike's partner on the show in the early days of KSEV.  After the Radio gig ended Mike went on to become President of the International Bible Society (now Biblica) and held that post for years. Last time I saw him he was really showing his age. Happens to all of us eventually.

Not my kind of music, so I never heard of this station. I was/am the KIKKer type. Also a huge fan of Paul Berlin.

I listen to classic rock as a rule. At one time (and maybe still)  there was a  Houston station that played classic C&W. I really enjoyed that when I drove that direction.

Of course, I also listen to classical, jazz, Big Band on my home stereo. Anything but rap or opera.
