Anybody else remember Jive magazine?


 

 

Man, the things you remember as you get older.

I don’t, but I’ll see if I could pick up a copy somewhere

Actually I remember the magazines, but I don't remember the content of them.
When I went looking for some articles they looked more tabloidish than anything.

Seeing them brought back memories of me being a kid and seeing them on the coffee tables of barbershops back in the 70s.

Hey @Troy

I know you posted in it a couple times but there's not much to this thread.
It was just a product of a random nostalgic thought....lol.
So unless you object, I'm going to go ahead and delete it.

Besides....
"you know who" doesn't like it when I clutter up the board, lol.

@Pioneer1...bro, there is no need to delete your threads.  Not cluttering the forum.  Not a lot of traction here anyway.

Well...

If you want it to stay up I'll leave it alone...lol

@TroyI didn't realize the slang word "jive" was so archaic.

I'm around people who use it all the time, both young and old. It's interchangeable with BS.

Maybe it's a Chicago thing. 

 

Conversely, I've  never seen or heard of the JIVE magazine whose cover you posted. I do remember a black show biz magazine called VIBE.

I also find it interesting that you hate FACEBOOK but, like everybody else here, seem quite enamored with YouTube which, to me, is no more legitimate than social media.

At 90 something years old, people in their 60s  or even early 70s would probably be considered "young" to you because it's whole a generation behind....lol

The word "jive" went out of circulation in the early 80s.....along with bell bottoms.....lol.
Certainly few people under 60 use that word on a regular basis.

 

 

 

 

Now this is interesting.......

It's what is called the "Mandela Effect".

People of different backgrounds having different memories about the existence or nature of something.

Me and a few other people over a certain age clearly remember Jive magazine.
We saw it in supermarkets, barbershops, and liquor stores back in the 70s and 80s.

But over half of the people of that same age range say they DON'T remember the magazine!

Interesting!
