Re: rat run probability

But I'm guessing you like older music.

Is that some sort of crack about my age?

Re: rat run probability

I'd like to say no, but actually yes. You strike me as a guy who wouldn't listen to any music made in the last 5 years.

Re: rat run probability

You are correct, but make that the last 20 years. And remember, someday you will be old and ugly too.

Re: rat run probability

Thought it might be more than 5. You still haven't said what kind of music you like.

Re: rat run probability

I generally have no ear for music so I could not understand Beethoven or Mozart. The opera if it is not POTO is wasted on me. I am a bumpkin remember?

Re: rat run probability

Still not sure what a bumpkin is, though.

There must be a kind of music that you like to listen to.

Ah, okay.

Did you ever try listening to newer music?

Re: rat run probability

Not anymore, I tend to concentrate on a few things now and do not waste as much time.

I thought the jacket was quite loud.
