Well said!
Just a couple weeks ago I was talking to a friend about our school days and when we were told history about Great Depression in the 20's that sounded SOOOOO LONG AGO. Damn, now we are just a year away from reaching 2020's lol. I remember watching Jesse Owens movie (the 1st one that aired on NBC back in the day) and seeing clips of Hitler thinking it was ancient lol. Then it hit me in the next 16-17 years we will be a hundred years away from that time lol.
I always loved Motown Era even as a kid, but it always felt distanced to me. However, I then realized that time span and the time span of 90's hip hop with Tupac til 2019 is actually longer gap than the gap then the Motown Era and the beginning of rap lol.
Speaking of old tv shows I use to hate Cheers, but only like the intro song. Then I realized I was conditioned to think it was an adult show since I was always sent to bed when it aired because I had school in the morning lol. I've been watching reruns recently and appreciate the show better now.
Thinking back to the shows as kids ... the water cooler talk in grade school. That was nearly 30 years ago for everything. Family Matters, Ducktales, In Living Color, Alf, Simpsons, Saved by the Bell, Step by Step. Time flies for real.
