When I subscribed to both that happened to me more than once.

When your Uriah Heep - Wizards T-shirt no longer fits...
Next Sunday (April 30) will be the 33rd anniversary of my first Yes concert (The Spectrum, Philadelphia). Thirty-three years before that, rock 'n' roll didn't even exist (at least as a recognized genre)!

Whenever you watch one of your favorite music vids on YouTube, most ads that come up contain the phrase "boost your testosterone".
What is this mailbox you speak of? You know you are getting old when you are still getting magazines through the mail rather than buying digital subscriptions...
..when your wife reminds you that you met 40 years ago on 4/24/77 when you were both 17...Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!
....when I hear music I listened to in the 80s as a young adult being played on the "oldies" station.
...when the Rush song "I think I'm going bald" becomes autobiographical.
"Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?"--Dalai Lama
When you walk into FYE and can't find a section for Jethro Tull. When you ask at the counter if the store carries Jethro Tull and the person behind the counter says ...."Jethro who?" When you are annoyed by the sound of Dance Music pollution with drum machine malarkey as you browse through the CDs. When you are further annoyed by hearing "Slow Ride" by Foghat... as if to say that it's the only thing they can play in the store that comes from your generation.
...when you watch TMZ and haven't the vaguest idea who any of the "celebrities" are they are talking about.

Looking forward to my day in court.
When your wife has found the perfect spot for your ashes...

When you check to make sure the venue has reserved seating. (I'm way too old to stand for three hours...)

When you're terrified you'll find out your child's music or phys-ed classes have included "Hip-Hop Dance" without your written permission.
When the cop who pulls you over for speeding looks like he hasn't started shaving yet.
When you have to listen to ALL (except adap2it & maybe mogrooves) the people younger than you that are whining about being old.

When you can relate and have first hand experience with most all of the previous posts
When you see guys your age and they look really old to you, but when you look in the mirror, you still look the same as you did 20 years ago!
I got a text yesterday from a buddy who heard The Pretenders being played as Muzak in Walmart.
Is that AARP magazine any good? They've been reminding me a lot lately that I'm "fully eligible for membership!"... when your Prog and AARP magazines show up in the mailbox on the same day.

When you realize that, by comparison, bands you listened to in 1982 are now the equivalent of bands from 1952 in 1987.
When you still think of new wave as new rock.
