Conversation at the office: Boss (early 60s): and they grow up so quickly, I can remember (kids) as infants. Where did the decade go? Co-worker (early 20s): Yeah, I know, between 10 and 20 went so fast for me. Me: What did you say? (Bursts into laughter)

“Sheena is a punk rocker” by the Ramones came out in ‘77. Elvis Costello’s “My Aim is True” as well. And then there is “Deacon Blues” by Steely Dan... Also, I was three in ‘77 and Boomer Twitter is awful per the responses. https://t.co/mrpsn1QbL1
