Rush Cocky Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You know, there are a lot of people, places, and things, that I associate with my childhood that are really beginning to disappear. Ed dying is another one of those things. I never watched the tonight show THAT regularly back then, but even if you didn't, you knew who he was. "You may have just one $10 million" from publisher's clearing house along with a ton of other commercials. I guess it's just my own realization that, now that I'm over 40, I'm slowly becoming the "past generation" or however you want to term it. Not that I'm dead yet....just the "changing of the guard" is becoming much more prevalent with each passing person, place or thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great show (for kids I suppose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me Ed only got a couple of column inches in People last week, because of YouKnowWho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
