RIP Phil Everly

I was a bit young for their heydey but I'm very familiar with their music. I'll bet Jerry had them on the radio at the submarine races though.
Awesome talent.

Ha ha! Ain't that the truth! But I remember just like it was yesterday ... when these "mop-heads" became popular, every "adult" in the nation swore those long-haired bums were going to destroy civilized society as we knew it! By today's standards ... I'd say they were about as clean-cut as they could be!

My parents were big fans when I was a kid. So, the Everly Bros are part if what I think of as the sound track if my youth in Wonder Years sort if way. I think we even caught their act at Knott's Berry Farm in 1973. It was probably my first concert now that I think if it.

They made great music in my youth, I got a lot of lip service out of their songs.
If posthole would comb his hair now and then, he could look like that too.

As for growing up with the Everly Bros. ... one of the first things I ever won on a radio call-in contest was an Everly Brothers .45 record. I even remember the call-in question. The DeeJay (Bill "The Weird Beard" Vermillion, at "WLOF ... Channel 95l") said the first person to call in, whose phone number contains the digits 4, 6 & 9, will win five .45 rpm records! Our number contained those digits and a copy of The Everly Bros. (Cathy's Clown ... don't remember the "flip side") was one of the records I won.

Odd, most days, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, but I can still remember my grand parents and our phone numbers from my childhood (I have no clue why or how). I remember 4-digit phone numbers, but can't remember if/when we had one. Our number when I was a kid, was 4-6292 ... then they came out with the prefix and it became GArden4-6292 (424-6292).

My grandparents # was GArden5-3839 (after the prefix was added). Theirs was a "party-line"!

I wonder why stuff like that sticks in your brain? I have no clue what my home phone number was in California just a handful of years ago.

I won a record when I was about ten on one of those call in deals. The question was who the artist was on the song ''Monster Mash' (Bobby 'Boris' Pickett). I still smile every time I hear that tune, which admittedly isn't very often.

I was around that same age P-hole ... I think I was 9 when I won that record. Why is it we remember so many minute details about stuff like that but have CRS disease when it comes to more recent stuff?

I wish I knew. My wife says its because I only remember the stuff I give a shit about. I think she's right.

Ha! I'm not so sure P-hole. MANY years ago I met this smokin' hot chick at a dance and asked for her phone number. She wrote the number on a slip of paper and handed it to me. Problem is, she told me her name when I first talked to her, but I forgot it. When she wrote down her number, she wrote the number ONLY and I still had no clue what her name was. When I called to ask her out, I planned to just hang up if I didn't recognize her voice (the days before caller ID) as I'm not sure her mom/dad would have appreciated it if I just said, "May I speak with your daughter!?"

I picked her up and I was sweating bullets all night dancing around calling her by name (the only name that came to mind was "Tits"!) :D

On the way home, she said, "You don't even remember my name, do you?" I tried to crawl under the frigging dash board I was so embarrassed. That was probably one of the most uncomfortable dates I ever went out on. Ummm, BTW ... we never went out again! :crybaby
