The Who might be too earnest for him;
Not so much as to keep him from performing "Behind Blue Eyes" in public at a coffee house.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I know that's not a Zep song. Freebird just indicates to me Giles probably wasn't as proto-punk as we'd think.
He's not NOW, but, as I've found, when you get older, if you love music, your tastes expand.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, and the age question is still up in the air. If Giles was 20 in 1967 (when Disraeli Gears came out) then that's one frame of reference; but if he was 20 in 1973, very different frame of reference. Agreed that, 20 years on, people do mellow and come around to liking good music that was anathema in their youth; whereas 20 years do not always kill one's love for the awful music of one's youth.
Which is why I own a Neneh Cherry album.

Up with the sun
I think of Giles as being closer to 40 than to 50 in the first season, but I can't point to a specific reason why, other than that the age difference with Miss Calendar didn't seem to be so broad as to skeeve anyone out, and I didn't see her as being much past 30.

Agree. When you go back, he's actually pretty young looking. How hold was he really back then? (ASH, obviously.)

ASH was born in 1954, so 43.

Our wings are not tired.
ASH was born in 1954
Woo! It was a good year IMO.

I always remember his birthdate because he is exactly 10 years older than me!

What is even happening?
ASH was born in 1954, so 43.
Yeah, this is what I was going to say. I know he's 13 years older than I am. Somehow. *cough*
Yesterday, we were leaving my b-i-l's house, and we drove by a Podiatrists office. The doctor's name was "A. H. Giles" and it threw me for a loop.

Anyone else have a fetish thought about that? Just me?
