A weird question, i know.
It happens that a friend of mine, Paula, just said to me I'm too old - I'm 43 yrs - to listen Gorillaz, a band that I love.
So, I'm wondering: are we too old to Stones?
Also, do you agree to my friend, who says Gorillaz is a band to teenagers?
Well, obviously i don't think like her. I think Gorillaz good and funny. That's all.

I'm 21, but I've been a hardcore Stones fan since I was 15, which at the time was very much considered by friends and relatives to be "too young" to listen to most of the music I dug, including the Stones. Hell, I still get that "too young" crap. What I think is that, if you like it, fucking listen to it. There are many kids my age and younger who dig the Rat Pack just as much as anything going on today. You're never too young or too old to enjoy music - music is just there, ripe for the picking, and there shouldn't be these pre-conceived notions about who should listen to what or what kind of age group should be enjoying certain sounds. If you like Bach, listen to Bach. If you like the Beatles, listen to the Beatles. If you like the Eagles, then yer a fucking sicko. ;-) But age shouldn't play a part in what you listen to and enjoy, nor should color or anything else.

never too old or too young to listen to them for the reasons Corgi says
only problem these days is being too POOR to see them! |

Yep, I think that a band who show cartoons on their videos is a teenagers band. But if you like it, go ahead! |

I'm 47 and definitely not too old for the Stones. I definitely AM too old for Ashlee Simpson, or any performers who got their start in the Mickey Mouse Club, but that's about it. And actually more a matter of taste than age.
I was just talking to Candace about this last night. A lot of people in my generation seem to have a hard time growing up. Personally I think that's a good thing. I also think that having our childhood heroes, like the Stones and Dylan, still out kicking everyone's ass has a LOT to do with it. THEY never grew up, why the hell should I?
I AM afraid that the day the Stones retire, for whatever reason, I'm going to wake up and be 1000 years old.

Yes, but you'll be waking up next to your hot, young girlfriend, so that should make you feel young again.

I'm sorry, Miss Youngblood, but glencar has assured me privately that you are ME, so this post smacks of onanism.
PS I left my tinfoil hat on the nightstand - do you have an extra one I can wear?

I know. It makes metallic crinkling noises when I pull it down over my ears.
I may switch to one of these.

you're never too old to listen to and enjoy rock and roll. Provided that you're still willing to rock.
however... if you one of those people who on the past Stones tours went to the show and SAT there throughout the show with your hands on your lap, then do please do me and everyone else at the show a favor and STAY THE FUCK HOME.
If you can't stand up, dance, sing and have a good time for a mere 90 minutes at a Stones show then DON'T FUCKING BOTHER GOING.
if you think that you need to sit at a Stones show then I suggest that you are better suited to just stay home and listen to Billy Joel.
thank you

Which brings up the question: Do people stand up at Billy Joel concerts? Did they ever? |
|
|
| Gazza |
yes. they stand up at the end so that they can go home |

A much more interesting question is: which idiot has invented to place chairs on a field in a stadium? That's the reason I never will attend a concert in an American stadium again. Complete madness. |

Amen, my brother. I was surrounded by a crazy amount of these people at Tacoma three years ago. At one point I actually scolded them, "Stand the fuck up!" They looked at me like I was on something. Perhaps I was. |

Actually, Child of the Moon, I'm pretty sure you WEREN'T on anything at the Tacoma show. Though you certainly could have been if you had wanted to!
I wholeheartedly agree about those lame-os who sit through Stones concerts. I was up in the stands for the first Bridges show in Portland. No one was standing, so I was stuck sitting to avoid problems. But before the encore, I told them all, "Look, I sat through the whole show. But there is NO WAY I'm sitting down for Jumpin' Jack Flash"! I got up and danced, but the rest of them sat through that, too. Thankfully I was in the fifth row the next night.
The funniest thing I've experienced along this line was at Oakland during the Voodoo tour. We were on the floor in the seventh row. When the inro music before Not Fade Away started, everyone jumped up (of course). Some guy behind me actually yelled, "Sit down!" I hollered back, "Stand up!" and proceeded to enjoy a great show. |

You got that right people! If ya wanna rock go ahead and rock and
roll and dance your butt off to the ROLLING STONES!! I am older
than ALL OF YOU (and I DON'T CARE) and I have danced and
rocked to the Stones since I was 14 years old.
THERE AIN'T NO BAND BETTER THAN THE ROLLING STONES!!
IF THEY CAN ROCK FOR 40 YEARS WHY CAN WE?
Did anyone listen to the E-Card on the RS. com website where
they show the slide with the guys, and that good ole Rockin
Stones music is goin on?! |

Never too old! I'm 56 and still an avid fan.
I've seen the Stones at the Manning Bowl in Lynn, Ma in 1966 and every other time that they have been to Boston. |

I'm 21 and am into the old stuff and the new stuff
music defies age!!!!
God people still listen to Mozart and Beethoven et al and they haven't had a record out in years ;-) unlike Elvis funny how he can still churn out records from the grave? LOL
If you like the sound of something then what are you to do? You go out and buy the cd, if you don't like something don't buy it. |

right on Child! You got the right attitude!
good for you! Mick is 61 and he works his ass off EVERY night to get people up and out of their seats.
the deadbeats that just sit and stare need to be subjected to lifetime of Celine Dion performances |

RIGHT ON!
Brainbell Jangler, you and Child of The Moon are my heroes!
keep up the good work!
I really think that all us RocksOffers should make it our responsiblility on this tour to encourage everyone to get up off their asses. I can not understand the mentality of people yelling "sit down" at A STONES CONCERT!! Its ridiculous!
time to start firing back: STAND UP
hope to see y'all "drinkin and dancin" at a show real soon! |
