Along with Olycop's corner we need an Uncle Steve's Corner

I think we have been missing the attic dwelling recluse voice here on Olyblog.

Toys in the attic, over the rainbow, bars in the window, truly gone fishing.

They must have taken my marbles away.

what's an iPod?

Just kidding, couldn't live without mine. What I like about it, and the other lists here, is that it really opened up the music world for me. I am really willig to take a chance on just about any music. I might not get to it right a way, but there are times when a new song comes up on my iPod and I'm just amazed.

what's an iPod?

No kidding. Teenagers have explained it to me, but my eyes just glaze over. Now I'll slip into Old Cranky Guy mode (especially since OlyCop has been lowering the volume the last few days. I guess it is up to me to carry the water here. It would probably be more acceptable or hip to call myself sort of a Luddite. But I'm not really. The reality is I'm just another Old Cranky Guy. OlyBlog's crazy uncle locked in the attic. I propose OlyCop be allowed to get cranky about social innovations while I get the technological ones, although they do overlap to a great degree). It amazes me how people are walking or driving while plugged into some ear machine or jabbering away on a cell phone or poking away at some keyboard in places, like coffee shops, where personal contact and human-type visiting used to take place. Remember person to person conversations? What are we becoming? The Borg? These things have an isolating influence-- a technological force field preventing us from experiencing the world we live in. Hey, gotta go. Someone just slid my tray of food under the attic door.

We love uncle Steve

He's cranky, but we love him anyway.

Feeling incredibly old....

 I don't recognize most of the artists that people have listed. 

 Ipod.....obviously it doesn't take 8 track tapes...hmmm

 OK....I'll try to be kinda hip.  Check out Tuck and Patti, some of the old Tower of Power, any blues or jazz artist over the age of 50, and lots and lots of Motown
