Roll With The Changes

The Backwards Man

This is prompted by something a fellow elderly boardsie, endacl, just said, so credit to him for this thread.

He said he'd happily have watched a band we both like in the seventies, I say I'd happily watch them now in their seventies.

I was looking up going to a music festival in the summer in Eastern Europe, and I had to google all the bands already confirmed except one, I knew the songs when I heard them, just didn't know the artistes by name.

Do you roll with the changes as you find yourself getting older, or are you finding yourself getting more and more set in your ways?

My mates teenage daughter got one of those hoverboard things for christmas. I was over with him, and he gave me a demo. He was gliding around his kitchen like an expert. "Hop on", says he. Mother of Jesus. Me oul legs started doing the hucklebuck, I couldn't get off the thing quick enough.

For the first time in my life I had to admit I was just to old for that kind of sh1t. (I'm 40, BTW.)

When you reference a Brendan Bowyer song, I'm afraid you're well past it:pac:

I am getting set in my ways... I really can't listen to most of what is being played on our airways at the minute... particularly chart music and Irish country.

I like some country, but not 'chart country'.

I will draw a line at Allyson Krauss, who has bucket loads of talent and class.

The Nathan Craters and Mike Denvrs of the music world bore me to death. Their music is too commercial and predictable. It is formula music.

God be with the days when songs were actually about somethig.

Indeed!

Sometimes I will roll from time to time I suppose, but baby I will never EVER stop rockin'!

My wife has lamented on more than one occasion that I'm turning into her Dad. I love anything to do with WWII, 95% of my music taste is from the 60's/70's and I'm developing quite a fondness for golf.

I'm 31

Why fight it? I like what I like, I complain that music is too loud sometimes, that's because it is.

I'd sooner roll with it OP. Found this out when I walked down Clonea beach in Waterford at 30 odd years of age, feeling dismayed at how small it is compared to all my dreams as a young boy of the place. Same with music imo.
