When Are You Too Old To Rock ‘N Roll?

Yeah, yeah, whatever junior....


Totally agree with DJ...regardless of age, success level, whatevs - I will continue to make music - until my fingers fall off.

Am working on stuff right now. Dammit. Trying to find time to finish this remix project is a bitch!

So you finally came right out and said it girl
What took you so long
It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh

I think about it from time to time
When I'm lonely and on my own

I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh

Well it feels like something you want so bad
Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had
You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch
And I feel it coming at me
I can feel it coming at me

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again

I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again...


That is all.

Personally, there are times when the question "am I too old for this" springs to mind...

Which is the exact time to break out the John Lee Hooker or Ian Hunter albums.

I reached a point last year where I suddenly realized that a good deal of the music I had loved my entire life up until that point was actually quite juvenile and kind of shitty, it was an almost overnight switch too which was funny. I guess that was my rock 'n roll switch flicking off.

That's a natural shift... rock fanatic to bluesman... funny how the older I get the more I appreciate and can relate to the blues.

Back in the day... those fellas lives were tough, even when young. For an old white guy like me now it's a combination of accumulated experience and mileage that's brings it all back home... a haw, haw ho... baby bring me back down...

Actually, I was trying make an oblique reference to the respective ages of Hooker and Hunter when they started out...
But I'll just shut up and bask in your wisdom.

But I'm not bitter...

Thought of this thread yesterday when I saw an ad placed by a friend of a friend looking for a "metal guitarist and bassist, must have be 26 or younger and have metal image". First of all, not a whole lot of 20-somethings in LA that, even if they have the "look" can play their way out of a wet paper bag....will be interesting to see what if anything they come up with.

Haha, probably 3 Emo douche bags with the chops of 'Lil Wayne..
