Here's my list:
- Jerry Seinfeld was 35 when Seinfeld started. He's now 64.
- It's almost 25 years since Kurt Cobain killed himself. A quarter of a century.
- Realising that 18-year-olds now were born in 2000.
- South Park season one was 1997!! WTF!
- The Matrix is 20 next year
- Will Smith is now 5 years older than Uncle Phil was when The Fresh Prince of Bel-air started.
- He is now 29!!
- Bohemian Rapsody was first released as a single nearly 43 years ago -- and Freddie Mercury died nearly 22 years ago
- Music from the 90s, particularly guitar-led bands (eg Oasis, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Guns n Roses etc), are being described as "classic rock" on Internet radio. Fyi. Welcome to the Jungle is 31 years old.
- Napster was shut down for copyright infringement 17 years ago.
- When I first started using the Internet, I had to load up the software on a diskette and the download speed was 5,600kbps. My ISDN (128bps) line cost me $700/mo.
