    I remember when I was in school and Prince's 1999 song came out(mid-80's) and thought jeez 1999 is so far away. And it's over 20 years ago now.

    Yeah like in Prince's song "tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999". Well it was Y2K so actually I was in my office with about 20 others waiting for the shyt to happen on our systems at the turn of midnight.

    .

    I was going to post that but that was a little before the time you quoted.

    Bowie probably felt the same way you did, but just a few years earlier :D

    There were doing this 'Golden Oldie' request on a radio station in the UK while driving to work this morning.

    This lady requested Beyonce 'Crazy in Love'.....WTF :confused:

    Sure that was only a few short years ago when I was tanked up on Red Bull and Vodka hitting the dancefloor chancing my arm.

    (It was 2003)

    Greta won't give a date yet, the little non-smiling sanctimonious bitch. Likes to see us suffer.

    Fifteen years ago i was twenty. Gone in the blink of an eye. Fifteen years time I'll be fifty. Don't know exactly why that has struck a chord with me but it has.

    First they came for the socialists...
