The older i get the more I like AC/DC (the group) This sort of concerns me as too what i'm going to want to hear in the retirement home in my dotage, if i get that far.
Am I going to be with a load of other really old people clicking their fingers to Led Zep. wanting to be a back door man? Will the warden tell me to turn my mps player. Or by that time, Mp303 player down.
Or is it that at some point, a tea dance notion of music will flow into my mind possibly? Or the notion that Manilow was indeed a very nice with many a tune i'd like to hum :shock:
When will i start wanting to give people Werthers as though it's a treat from an older wiser person???
Just musings guys, just musings.
I'm on a highway to hell............

u got away with the dirty underpants but that is unforgivable wink
I remember long ago, pogoing away in the disco, thinking what are we going to be like in our eighty’s all pink Mohicans and bondage trousers Zimmer frames with safety pins and Day-Glo incontinence pants, it made me smile then.
When I was younger, I lived by the creed “if it’s too loud you’re too old” now, older, I value silence above almost everything.

The older I get, the quieter the music :shock:
Unless I'm doing housework (and those in the know will tell you how rare that is) I never blast my music; it's just background noise.

yeppas.. or none at all! just lately I've been enjoying a really really quiet house, I need the tranquility.
on another note.. I'm a bit into Paul Potts (winner of 'most talented') and I would never have thought I would enjoy classical music!
now that's a shocker! wink
this is quite an interesting topic for me.
I have been into "dance" music since the 80's which has taken me to clubs far and wide, witness a huge explosion of different genres (breakdance, electro, house, techno, beach house, funky house, progressive house etc)and DJ'ing myself on equipment from ghettoblasters through to Technics 1210's through to computerised CD decks.......... all over the last 20+ years.
i dont think ill be into any other sort of music in such a massive way.
im actually beginning to see and feel my own age nowadays... especially if i go clubbing and with some of the old classics i play.......... i can tell im a good few years older than alot of other fans.
personally im worried that people think im too old for upfront music... but i actually think im at an advantage because i can fuse together the old and the new and can find music to play for people that has totally stood the test of time.
i just know i will be listening to house choons till the day i die.........
bring it on!!!!!

Bring it on! :happy: I've always been a bit of a metalhead but even at my ripe old age I have no intention whatsoever of turning it down! My son looks at me like I'm demented and is forever complaining it's too loud and all his mates think I'm cool when they see my cd collection cool They're amazed I've even HEARD of Slipknot let alone seen them in concert, spent the entire time in the mosh pit AND got the t shirt! biggrin
I draw the line at poodle rock though. AC/DC indeed! rolleyes

When I was younger I used to think it was compulsory to buy all Phil Collins' back catalogue once you got to 30!
I now know different and pride myself on still listening almost exclusively to new up and coming bands even so I am well into my 40s!
Gallows anyone?
The older I get the more concerned i get about fairground (god even that word ages me SO much :shocksmile I mean THEME PARK rides lol :lol:
Where once I screamed in excitement when on the big dipper, or shrieked "spin me, mister, spin me" to the ride operators on the waltzers, and thought the cork screw was the most dangerous thing EVER.
Where once, all I cared about was how fast the ride was, how cool the light show was, and how many notches on the richter scale the music measured.....
I now spend my time worrying that every little creak and groan of the machinery or the framework is a bolt working loose, or a piece of the track bowing with metal fatigue, and that the whole carriage is going to fly off into orbit or that the track is going to plummet me (well I say me.......I wont go on them now, so I really mean the kids) to my death below! :eeek:
And the hideously dangerous, g force inducing, gravity defying rides the have nowadays, where you are dangles by your shoulder with no seat, no sides and no floor, just a safety strap between you and a good "where theres a blame theres a claim" solicitor .....dont EVEN get me started on that.
Time for my shawl and bedtime horlicks methinks :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've felt like this for the last 9 years. It's not age, for me, it's a parent thing.
Once my daughter was born, I got The Fear. Fast drivers, fairground rides, bungee jumping, extreme sports ... all things I would have loved before now seriously put the shits up me!
Earlier this year, I had to walk away while my child went on a ride 'cos I couldn't bear to watch - and I was almost in tears then anyway!

Am I going to be with a load of other really old people clicking their fingers to Led Zep. wanting to be a back door man? Will the warden tell me to turn my mps player. Or by that time, Mp303 player down.
Or is it that at some point, a tea dance notion of music will flow into my mind possibly? Or the notion that Manilow was indeed a very nice with many a tune i'd like to hum :shock:
When will i start wanting to give people Werthers as though it's a treat from an older wiser person???
Just musings guys, just musings.
I'm on a highway to hell............


Having been an avid Prince fan now for 20-odd years, I can't see that changing... so in my dotage I'll still be singing and perving along to His Purpleness - fad/fashion be damned!!

I can remember DC current in homes. When I was a child, we were AC and my Grannie was DC - I couldn't take my electric toys when we visited.
Plim sad
The more woman I find attractive. I seem to be getting more liberal with my age or perhaps just becoming and utter perv lol
The older I get, the less I give a shit.
