Too Old To Rock 'N Roll, Too Young To Die...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932) 3 years ago

Well in 18 more days, I will reach the half century mark...and I'm starting to think about things like senility, nursing homes, heart attacks...all those really COOL things you can look forward to as you get older.doh

And so, I started thinking...being as it is a whole new generation of people getting old, can we expect to someday soon hear the soothing strains of Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden and others of that genre wafting through the corridors of the retirement homes?

I mean...I may be getting older, but I still like to ROCK!!! And they DO call it a "rocking" chair...so can I ROCK as I rock? Or am I gonna have to get used to Lawrence Welk?confused

Oh, the things that keep me awake at night...lol

1. myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)   3 years ago

you are not getting that old lamb. but i like the idea of heavy metal in retirement homes...


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  3 years ago

I just believe in preparing for things ahead of time, and wondered if I needed to start changing the music I have on my computer.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

there's preparing ahead and perhaps preparing too far ahead. however i do suggest that you change all the music on your computer to cliff richard's finest shocked

or maybe not

Hey, Judith, what's wrong with Cliff Richard? On second thoughts, son't tell me. I know I'm in a minority as a Cliff fan.


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  3 years ago

Well, I've got 12,233 music files (seriously). It may take some time to change each to an appropriate song...


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

well cliff has produced well over that many monstrosities so make a start happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  3 years ago

I think I may actually know ONE of his songs...did he have a hit called "Devil Woman" in the early 70's?


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

probably. i try to avoid the dreadful things he produces claimed so unconvincingly to be music.

[looks around to see if sandra is watching]

you know he has topped the calender charts every single year since 1673? now THAT is scary.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sandra1952 (3179)   ranked 127 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

Yes, Sandra is watching. Rabbit, you're dead! Lamb, Cliff's done hundreds of great records - and a few not-so-great ones as well - but he's nearly 70, so he's doing pretty darn good.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

I dont know that music, but I will return to this discussion after I've heard a few of them. :) In the meanwhile, let me wish you Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Many Happy And Healthy Returns Of The Day in advance. :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. blackbriar (6633)   ranked 1,167 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

So sad...the classics are what rock is all about. Not this new age crap where you can't even 'hear' the music.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 18 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

The "new" music isn't music in my ears.
But then again I've been told I am old by my kids.
Bwaaa haaa haaaa!

HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~


myLot reputation of 92/100. vandana7 (6648)   ranked 295 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

I dont really know which music would be classified as Rock or metallic. :) But what I do know is I liked old songs by Barbara Striesand (I think it was in Funny Girl), and Julie Andrews (I love her voice), and then Abba, Boney M, Diana Ross, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Madonna etc. Of these who would qualify, please let me know. I dont enjoy Michael Jackson's numbers, never did. Would that be Rock or Metallick.

Hey, Lamb, it's just a number. I'm 57, and I still love listening to Cliff Richard. Oh, perhaps that's not you want to hear, but while you still maintain an interest in boobies, you are definitely not old. I'm not really interested in boobies, but it doesn't mean I'm old, it just means I prefer a nice firm male butt. Is your butt nice and firm? Just asking!


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

oops - i've just recommended cliff above and then scared myself


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sandra1952 (3179)   ranked 127 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

Hello, Judith. I might have to revert to serial killer mode again, after your attack on Cliff. It was an attack, wasn't it, only I'd hate to kill you for no reason.


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

of courseit was not an attack

[lying rabbit runs off]


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sandra1952 (3179)   ranked 127 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

Be afraid - be very afraid. I have a great recipe for rabbit casserole and I can't wait to try it. To prolong the agony, you'll have to listen to my collection of Cliff Richard CDs before I kill you. And I should warn you, there's lots of them!


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

shockedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek



cry


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sandra1952 (3179)   ranked 127 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

Not such a brave bunny, now, are we? Is it Cliff Richard or the rabbit casserole that got to you in the end? Or was it a combination?


myLot reputation of 87/100. jb78000 (3486)  3 years ago

i have had countless death threats on here. they don't bother me no more. it is the other thing shocked


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20616)   ranked 1,178 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

No-one has heard of Cliff here in Italy. Is he well known in Spain Sandra or are you aware of him because you are from UK too like me?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sandra1952 (3179)   ranked 127 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

Hello, Diana. I've been a fan for almost as long as I've been alive. They don't tend to go for him in Spain either. They just don't know what they're missing!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

I like a few of Cliff's songs... the young ones, bachelor boy..erm, can't think of any more lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. Sandra1952 (3179)   ranked 127 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

How much time have you got, Alice? 'Lucky Lips,' 'We Don't Talk Anymore,' 'Carrie,' 'Living Doll,' 'Constantly,' 'Miss You Nights,' 'Move It' - that's enough of a Cliff tutorial to be going on with.

I think you might be on to something there. My ex-husband was about your age, and he likes Metallica, AC/DC and all that crap ... erm, I mean music.rasp I think that the "old timers music" of today will be replaced with that kind of music in the future. It would be really funny if eventually the kids of the next generation are the ones that have to yell at their grandparents and tell them to turn down the music!lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20616)   ranked 1,178 out of 8,272 in listening to music  3 years ago

lolwub

What a thought! lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

I have to admit I've heard me telling my daughters to turn down the volume whistle Is that one of the first signs of getting old?


nefritite (14)  3 years ago

Alice, if telling your kids to turn down the music means you're getting old, then I got old at twenty four and by the way I'm now twenty seven.Can't stand loud music,that's why I think I'll still have the hearing ability of a wolf at 70years...

Count yourself lucky to reach that 'golden age'. In this age of disease laden society, many have short lifespan and expire before the due date. It may mean slowing down but doesn't mean you can't rock even if it only mean rocking in a rocking chair watching the sunset. Do not assume that aging equals incompetence but feel great to be a seasoned man. Life begins at 50 for some. lolwink

Ahhhh I see you're a metalhead. Anyhow, I am 55 and have had these types of thoughts for awhile now. I would think there will still be the typical "elevator muzak" playing at homes, hospitals etc. But the metal of the 70's and 80's would be great. I keep telling my wife if I get wheelchair bound she'd better make mine with a large motor so I can cruise the streets at about 30MPH.
