Slight difference between college students getting drunk and baby boomers. It's illegal for the college students...a fact that seems to totally escape the college student until they're arrested/ticketed for underage drinking.
AOL chatroom gathering? Oh, I forgot, there was no mention of sex while bent over a dumpster.
I was thinking the same ... immature and refusing to grow up! They don't release just how ridiculous they are.
"Still the Same"
I paid $5 to see him live about 30 years ago. I think he's getting $65+ for tickets now.
How inspiring.
Looking back on my life (I'm 65 now) the best time of my life was between 40 and 50.
Sure college was fun and the Army Boot Camp put me in the best shape of my life. Ages 25-35 were super learning experinces, with Viet Nam in there.
But Age 40, I finally came into my own. I no longer cared what others thought. I could make decisions with full confidence that they were the right decisions.
During my 50's it was a time of slow decay of my medical and physical being, not so hot.
However, not once did my ability to party dwindle.

I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up

And he cannot understand why I don't like his outdoor mega bass subwoofers at full volume during the summer time.
Some don't realize that us antiques were there when rock 'n roll was in its infancy. Yes, Virginia, there was life even before the Beatles.
I've been drunk a few times. Hate hangovers. Moderation in all things. Didn't smoke rope, except twice. Like beer 'n Jack better.
Good music has know age limit. If music gets your heart started, it can begin, or end, even the ugliest day.
My favorite from Bob Seger is "Her Strut". Love the words,
and, it COOKS. Think I'll crank it up right now.
Rock and Roll Never Forgets.
What kind of silly scold would attend a rock concert of a rocker with a fan base going back almost 40 years, and then get upset that some of the audience was over 40.
It was a rock concert, try attending the opera, or a republican convention, and you will find an even higher number of people over 40.
"Turn the Page", isn't that a Metallica song that he's covering? ;)
Reminds me of the song by Cake
<< Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs,
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.
And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t-shirt
That proves you were there,
That you heard of them first?
How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle? >>
"...drinking as much alcohol as you can before you pass out or smoking enough weed to numb your entire body,..."
I never really understood the appeal.
I quit drinking because I didn't want my kids to see me drunk.
The problem is that these "greying rockers" that are falling down drunk at the Bob Seger concert are probably in the same income bracket that they were in when they left school, if they even attended college in the first place.
Doesn't sound any different than your average NFL game.
All throughout history people will let go from time-to-time. I'm all for work, family, and responsibility, but once in a while, letting go, having a good time is great for one's soul.
