Wanna feel old?

yes, its true... at my age while looking through the purple haze in my red house, I truly am experienced!

Only americans say you are as old as you think you are, the rational world knows you are as old as you are.

The Moody Blues...getting up there too and still kicking, with extended tours still each year.

Will see them for the 6th time (5th since 1992) and first time in about 4 years or so on Dec. 1. THey have yet to disappoint.

Elizabeth,

I've learned to sit well back (in the sweet spot) for best sound and to not see wrinkles, liver spots, pot bellies, etc. It works! They can still sing and play (at least as of last time I saw them and have not read anything more recent to the contrary).

More women attend Moodies concerts than most classic rock groups, FWIW.

Tickets only $60 (with all fees, etc.) in the local opera house, a decent moderate sized venue. Not bad.

I am well past wanting to see the Stones again.

Soon, non of these acts will be around anymore. I wish I was well informed enough to have gone see Louis ARmstrong, Ella Fitzgerald or even Elvis when I was young and they were still around. THose acts were regarded as too old and square already back then and I had no interest.

My 16 year old son quickly agreed to go this time which was a big surprise for me. That's the new twist this time around.

I know, I know, you hate live concerts. Don't be an old fart!
