Too old to rock?
I'm 53 and probably one of the oldest Hideout members. This started me thinking. Here in the UK you would have first heard Elvis in 1955. If you were 16 then you'd be 72 now. Does anyone know of senior citizens out there who are still rocking? By rocking I don't mean listening to Oldie stations on a Sunday drive. I mean actively listening to the Chocolate Watchband, Beefheart, Downliners Sect or whoever. Or even seeking new and wild sounds. Can you be too old to rock?

Sorry about that (the above) -- the forum app seems to have froze up.
I'm 65. Does that make me the old man of this forum? Been playing since around `60 or `61, in my first band by at least `62 -- actually a two many duo called, appropriately enough, the Bi-Tones.
The Bi-Tones morphed into a series of short lived but locally successful bands until in 1964 we found the right combination as The Abstracts. By May of that year we were in the studio and in 1965 our classic recording "Always Always" was released.
This past November all of our studio stuff (and a couple of live tracks) were released on a fine LP "Hey, Let's Go Now!" (http://www.break-a-way.de/bands/abtracts.html)
All the living members of the band, btw, are still making music. Too old indeed! :D-don

That's a good answer.

I think when you get older your world just expands. Mine doesn't EXCLUDE garage, I've just been able to appreciate more different things, and finding the same SPIRIT in other places. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" is coming from the same place as "Anarchy in the U.K." and the chilling sneering works of Shostakovich have that same no wave feel as The Honeymoon Killers.

Couldn't agree more.
