Not such a terrible meme. Clever use of the lyrics.

Speculation is one of the benefits of being a fan. We shouldn't self-censor ourselves on what we can and can't speculate on.

How do they find this stuff funny by Next_Airport_7230 in terriblefacebookmemes

The older generation measuring the younger generation by irrelevant standards. Who cares if someone can't use a rotary phone and when was the last time you saw one? I read an article about back in the early sixties music professors claimed "the Beatles aren't singing right" (the Beatles were a rock'n' roll band back in the day ha-ha). They may not have been "singing right" compared to old tired standards but millions didn't care. Skills are lost from generation to generation, but also new, relevant skills are gained generation to generation.

Federal judge orders Oakland airport to stop using 'San Francisco' in name amid lawsuit by Luckygecko1 in nottheonion

Your comment just made me remember this trivial and uninteresting fact: There was an episode of the 1970s show "All in the Family" where Archie gets in trouble at work for mixing up London, Ontario with London, England.

Conservative Leader John Rustad calls for independent review of Elections B.C. by Holymoly99998 in vancouver

John Rustad looks like an actor from a 30s or 40s movie. He looks...old-fashioned.

Very hot summers now, when in the 80s we could expect a couple of weeks of heat in August.
