Calling all adults!

[DonnieDarko]

Yes, sometimes I think the saying it's better to burn out than to fade away is true. I hear Robert Plant's new cd is sad, sad, sad....I don't know if he's planning to tour.... I saw the Stones on TV in a commercial. As if that right there is not disgrace enough, Mick is onstage singing "Satisfaction" and it is awful. Poor Mick. I think some people just go to these types of shows because they know these guys may not be around for too much longer. They're willing to pay $150 or whatever because they never know when they'll turn on the news and hear that Keith Richards is dead.

Selling out songs on TV commercials is the worst. These guys made their money and fame on songs that had real meaning, and now they sell them out. "Start Me Up" (Stones), "Dream On" (Aerosmith) are just a couple of examples of sell-out TV commercials. And don't get me started on BB King being the poster guy for Burger King.

I think Ousted makes a really good point with this thread. It is nice to see intelligent conversation on this site. I'm not trying to insult any younger members or say that they have nothing worthwhile to add. Anyone who takes a look at any of my posts can see that just because you're an adult it does not mean that you have anything worthwhile to share. It is always fun to smoke up and just talk fluff, but it is also nice to share your thoughts during lucid moments. Anyway, I enjoy thought provoking conversation, (even if my thoughts aren't quite as deep as everyone else's) and would like to give kudos to Ousted because he has shared some really great ideas and debates with us, and I look forward to seeing more from him/her. But I still love to see what the kids come up with, and they certainly contribute more than their fair share of intelligent and well thought out ideas.

Agree, I really like what the Cafe Lounge has evolved into .... intelligent and mature conversation.

And we also have some laughs !!!

It seems to me that our little cafe group is growing in size lately!!!! Or is it just me? Yes, I think it's great to talk in a civilized manner with other like minded folks--regardless of age. I also enjoy reading some of the goofy posts out there, but can you imagine posting info about sex toys, etc OUT THERE???? It would have turned into a freak show. I am not knocking the younger folk for their "giddy" attitude towards all things sex and relationships. When you don't have the experience of relationships, sex, and all the stuff that goes along with it, you really can't have a civilized conversation about it, now, can you? I like the direction that our little group is going...fun, intriguing conversation....all with wit, humor and intelligence. Yay for us!

Ahhhh! It feels like I can relax in here and not have to walk on eggshells because there might be an impressionable young person about, lol. I enjoy reading all of the cafe posts, I'm glad I joined. I look forward to reading the new posts.

I thought that the "Tips for Taking off Bras" thread was informative

I actually responded to that one. God, I really feel like a fucking dork now.

Dude,

Your post was the best .... I've done that move once or twice, and I'm gonna bring it back. You are not a dork, papaw.

LOL, I also find myself trying to answer the sex stuff seriously, only to later realize who the likely audience is ... but WTF ....
