My folks are in their 80s and often said that about "old" music 
throughout the years. Even "Swing" would get tired. My dad once said, 
"You know, we don't need any more reminders that we're rounding third."  
The late great George Carlin once said, "Super GOLD! To make you feel 
OLD!"  Real people and radio consulting... what a concept.
