Death begins at 40

[Benny Bunter]

Not sure where to put this (maybe there's a more appropriate thread) but this...

The release date of Take That - Back for Good is closer to the release of Beatles - Abbey road than it is to now.

The release date of Return of the Jedi is closer to the release of It's a wonderful life than it is to now

The release of Madness - Baggy Trousers (1980) is closer to WWII than it is to now.

Any more?

The track by The House Crew that gets posted here sporadically has just shifted closer to the Cuban Missile Crisis than to now.

'Wannabe' by the Spice Girls is closer to the Second Punic War than to the present.

we've waited longer for @WashYourHands to finish his top 100 than the time since cavemen rubbed two sticks together to create fire.

Oof! It's those mid 90s ones that hit the hardest if you're 40

It must mean something, but what?

I dunno, what books have that immediate madeline effect that music has? And which in our lifetime had the cultural resonance? Trainspotting perhaps.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Yeah I did think of trainspotting but I'm fairly drunk righ5 now and cant think of anything tó go with it

 

[Benny Bunter]

When did it come out, 95? So thats 26 years ago....

Simpsons first aired less than a month after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
