Huh?

I'm one o' them olde phartes. Is that video supposed to mean something to me? I've never even heard of the band. You sure you're not looking for some young whippersnappers?

Sorry, I just don't get it.  Probably my fault, though.  Did not chase down any followup vids.

Skipped through it to see if I could abstract a message.

Straight progressions, heavy, simple beat... so?

Explain, please?

And none of this "If you don't get it, I can't explain it" stuff.

Old enough for what? Never heard of them, either.

I don't think most of you know how old one needs to be to qualify as an olde pharte. If it doesn't pre-date the Rolling Stones by at least a decade, it can't be "old."

If you've never heard Mississippi Queen, where the heck were you back in the day?
You sure as hell don't know what I mean.  ;)
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

"Back in the day"? According to Wikipedia, their first hit was in 1970. I wasn't much interested in music by 1970. You're showing your (lack of) age. You can't go calling on "olde phartes" with post-1970 music. Does not compute. If you want to address us olde phartes, you need to be talking about The Drifters, Ronnie and the Del Vikings, the Everly Brothers, The Coasters, Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers, Richie Valens, Dion and the Belmonts, Buddy Holly, the Platters, ...

See, now there's a man who knows what I'm talkin' 'bout. My first car was a 1950 Hudson. Most of you whippersnappers have probably never even heard of that make of car.

"My first car was a 1950 Hudson."

"...and can remember starting a car pushing the foot pedal..."

Then you guys also remember cleaning out the wet oil air filter, right?

Of course.

The proper terminology for it was "oil bath air cleaner," and it worked VERY well.

I still have one here with an oil bath air filter. It's a tractor not a car.

Yeah.  Heh.  Concept of "back in the day" as being 1970.

By 1970 I had had one kid already and had moved out to Colorado and begun reloading on a "Rock Chucker Bullet Swaging" company press. The old city dump north of Boulder was the local informal range... and still had an underground fire going.

"Back in the day..." hah!

And Son2 now has that old RCBS press.

My oldest was a 47 Chevy Sedan Deluxe with vacuum assisted 3 on the tree shift, floor starter "button" and oil bath air cleaner on a babbit bearing inline 6.

IIRC, my '71 Mustang had one. I for sure remember them in my Mom's '66 Mercury and my Dad's '70 F-100.

Hmmmm...this "olde pharte"'s hearing is so frelled up today that the only music coming in even moderately clear is Röyksopp rave performance.

Used stomp switches for high beams for YEARS before it was moved to the blinker stalk! Started driving 1966 year model cars and that 47 Chevy in high school.
