Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?


Check out Keith Richards.... Lol.

Seriously to the topic in hand.

I am like many here I suspect in that I grew up listening to 60,s & 70,s rock music.
For me being in England it was bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd yada yada yada, you get the picture.

Now I have embraced streaming and via this medium I have found much new to me music that I thoroughly enjoy but......

Can't shake them roots!

Nothing is guaranteed to put a huge silly grin on my face quicker than cranking out the old rocker tunes.

Like last night, streaming some jazz fusion which was ok but then clicked on Outsider by Uriah Heep.

Oh yes, feet were shuffling, hands were twitching and ready to break out the old air guitar!

So what REALLY moves you?

It’s Miller Time!
Well a pastiche anyways.😁😁

There I was in good old blighty just knowing we were still the center of the known universe and absolutely the Pinnacle of the musicverse!

We had at the time a weekly rag called NME ( New Musical Express) and one day it had an article all about the new Musical gods from Canada namely Rush, Styx, Mahogany Rush and Lee Aaron.

I was intrigued as they really pushed these guys ( and gal) so what’s a boy to do when you live in a backwater village with just 1200 people.
I mean record stores were all in the big city of Derby, a 2 hour bus ride away.
Heck we still had real live practicing witches covens in the woods! Seriously Google Derbyshire witches.
So off to the big city I went and ordered both 2112 and The Grand Illusion and nearly collapsed at the prices as he had to import them specially.
3 weeks later I had them in my sweaty grasp and rushed to the college stereo ( better than my humble affair) and plonked down 2112.

Life has never been the same since.......
Rush: Permanent Waves changed my world... forever. Natural Science was the song. It was all over from there. I’m currently in a Led Zeppelin tribute band... that should say a lot right there!
The "old ones"are the survivors . many of the middle-age rockers died
from the drug that is hardest  to your heart, cocaine .
And, one assumes, the most fun. They say it’ll kill you but they don’t say when.
