The oldest rock band destined for chart stardom!

"The Zimmers" sing "My Generation".

"The Zimmers" (with a combined age of more than 3,000 years) have attracted a cult following after recording a version of "The Who's My Generation". The group, which is fronted by bingo devotee Alfie Carretta, 90, were handpicked by BBC documentary-maker Tim Samuels for a series on the isolation of the elderly in Britain. Profits from the single go to Age Concern.

It’s always nice to read about people doing stuff who are significantly older than I, even if it isn’t riding motorcycles.
