"You must be older than 'Max Power' to be served in this establishment."

I really don't know the story here, because the timing suggests its a coincidence.  But how can it be a coincidence?  Anyway, he's quite genuinely a boy from Birkenhead.

... no clue about any tattoos, though.

Greatest day I've ever known

"You must be older than Siamese Dream to be served in this establishment."

I keep tellin' you guys that '93 was the best year ever for music, and you guys keep fightin' me.  No, no---keep it up.  Just because it hasn't worked the first hundred times you tried it doesn't mean it won't work this time.  Keep at it, geniuses. 

Sorry, was that passive aggressive? 

"You must be older than the only UB40 song you remember to be served in this establishment."

 

Okay, fine.  "Red, Red Wine," too.

Whoomp! there's my butt!

"Tag Team, back again, back it up, party people---oh, whuh? didn't see you."

"What?  No!  I wasn't---look, dude, you know me, and I don't go down for that sort of... I mean, I was just making fun of it."

 

 

"Anyway, before you sit down, can I see some ID?"

Don't you know I'm loco?

"You must be older than 'Insane in the Brain' to be served in this establishment."

Vince Foster

"You must have been born before the Vince Foster murder suicide to be served in this establishment."

 

Oh, yeah, like I'm the bad guy.  What, "too soon"?  Boo all you like. 

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

"You must be older than the 1993 DADT announcement[fn1] to be served in this establishment."

fn1:  This actually is another event with multiple possible dates, and I think I've already got the formal promulgation of the rule elsewhere in this timeline.  Eh.  Slow week in history, so thought I'd double dip.  (Not in a gay way, I mean.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.) 

... and happy birthday, George!

Girl, Interrupted

"You must be older than Girl, Interrupted (the book) to be served in this establishment."

Listening to Prozac

Randall Monroe disapproves of my project

Tee-hee.

Actually, about the only thing I remember is Dwayne Wayne

"You gotta have lived through A Different World to be served in this joint."

"What?  I'm not just sayin' 'you gotta' and 'joint' because y'all are black!  I'm not."

"Saying.  With a  '-g.'  And, um, 'all of you.'"

Also known as "the Edge-foot-face-video album"

"You must be older than Zooropa to be served in this establishment."

Debut

"You must be older than Björk's solo career to be served in this establishment."

And now, a single that I actually hadn't heard before (it was only released as a bonus track in some regions.  One of which was not the Sam Goody at my parents' suburban mall):

"You must be older than the Philippines central bank to be served in this establishment."

I have absolutely no idea whether this is a good one.  Seriously, I know nothing about this reserve bank.  It's got reserves about the size of the RBA, and Australia has an economy six times the size of the Philippines, so... that's something?

... and happy birthday, Sung & Sawyer!

"You must have breathed the same air as Don Drysdale to be served in this establishment."
