Default Falling further out of the loop
I used to feel like I had a solid grip on popular culture, particularly music, but now days some celebrity (or alleged celebrity) dies every other day and I’ve never heard of them. Not once. Ever. I wonder what age it is that someone shows up and quietly pulls your card and from that point on you are just officially out of the loop and perpetually unconnected.

I was pretty out of touch by my mid 40s I would say.

The great thing about Alzheimer’s is all the new people you meet every day.

Default Out of touch
Back in the 80's and 90's my kids told me that I was out of touch. Now my grandchildren politely giggle and tell me that I am out of touch. The last time I was "in touch" was when the Beatles arrived in America. Since then it has been downhill.

Better to be out of touch than desperate to be young.

Are you wondering who Nipsey Hussle is? I don't know either.

Relax, it all more than evens out. Most of us know of most everybody from ancient Greece to mediaeval England
to the Civil War to silent movies to the big band era to yesterday, politicians and writers and artists and athletes
and singers and actors. Ask most people under 40 and they've never heard of anyone from before 2017.

I'm glad I'm out of the loop, todays music and tv shows are pure crap.

Wow, I sound like my Dad when I came home sporting a mohawk listening to Black Flag records. lol
