Back when it was real, man

Overheard today in San Francisco: Young, scruffy rocker dude, on the sidewalk near Union Square, tells a random group of tourists, "I saw the Stones in concert back in '94, man!" Points to a 20-something tourist girl and says, "You weren't even alive then!" Then his voice trailing after him down the sidewalk: "Those were the REAL days, man! Back when it was REAL!!"
