This Kind of Blew Me Away

Sitting in church last night, a 20-something kid came in wearing a "Black Sabbath" tee-shirt.  I thought to myself, I saw them in concert.

I immediately realized I saw Black Sabbath in concert 40 years ago.  OMG.  A quick search shows Ozzie is 62.  Doesn't look a day over 80.  That clean living helps.  (Actually, he looks pretty good in that Wiki picture.)

    Must have seen them on the same tour.
    40 years isn't as long as I once thought it was...

    It seems shorter now than it did then.

    Does the kid even know what the literal meaning of the words "black sabbath" are?

    Anon 1152 - I didn't talk with the kid about it, but my guess is they're just a band to him.

    Wait a minute! I was born on the same day as Ozzie! OMG - I'm 62???

    Now that's just wrong. But I MUST have had a good time.

    Jake, you reminded me of a friend from work. He has a sticker in his cube that says, "if you remember the 60s, you weren't there".
