Oh God, I'm as old as Star Wars

[Janet]

And Rumours.

It's funny when you think of yourself that way.

I first saw Star Wars while in my mom's tummy. She saw it at 19 while she was still pregnant with me.

What are you as old as??

[wondergirl9847]

I am a year older than Star Wars. :shocked: Bi-centennial baby, here...1976, yo Westsiiiiiiiiide.

[Johnny Stew]

What are you as old as??Dirt.

Actually, I'm as old as 'Bare Trees.' :D

[estranged4life]

to 70 as of today...I remember seeing Star Wars the weekend it was out at a Midnight theater, And except for my 2 older brothers, my oldest brother's girlfriend, his girlfriend's sister & myself there was noone at the theatre that night :eek:

[seeker007nmss]

I am so old Stevie and Lindsey were still in school (Hadn't met yet) , Fleetwood Mac hadn't been formed yet (Or the bluesbreakers). In other words..... Older than dirt. :shocked:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Don't know what I'm as odl as but I was born in 1970. Not sure if anything momentous happened in that year!

[tynan88]

Im 1988...did anything great (except for my birth) happen then?

[sara1998]

I'm as old as Star Wars and Rumours, too. 1977 was a great year.

~The very first time I saw Star Wars was when they re-released it in the theaters for the 20th anniversary. I thought that was cool.

It sort-of did, although I wasnt there...but 90 has Kriss-Kross, so I am not better

[tynan88]

In Australia 88 was a big year because it was the Bicentenary but there was nothing of international note really.
Everyone born in 88 got special certificates, I think I have lost mine though.

Ok, so YOU feel old? :shrug:


I'm as old as "Johnny B. Goode". Just a few months younger than Disneyland. Dwight D. Eisenhower was President. Cars had FINS & chrome bumpers; V8 engines were the standard and cars didn't come with seatbelts. Gasoline was only 25 cents a gallon. There were only 48 states in the USA. And, we were allies with Cuba. The BROOKLYN Dodgers were the reigning World Champions of baseball. :eek:

And, to put it in FMac perspective...Danny Kirwan was only 5 years old.

[CreepingDeath]
