We were excited about seeing one of the greatest bands of our generation, U2, perform in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately lead singer Bono had to have back surgery, postponing the tour until next year.
It got me thinking about my first concert, which was either Jeffrey Osborne with opening act Whitney Houston, or Heart (thanks for taking us, mom!)
This also got me thinking about what kind of first concert Helen or I will be taking Norbit to. No matter what it is, we'll be too old to understand the appeal of the performer of the moment. I know this because I now think the music that 'cool' radio stations play is loud, obnoxious or just plain terrible.
These days I find myself listening to 'easy listening' stations on the radio and am surprised when they call songs from the 1980s 'classic rock.' When did I become old?
I did not know who the 'beiber-fever' was until I saw a snip about it on Nightline a couple of months ago. It made me sort of panic b/c it was another reminder of my slipping youth and how could I NOT know who this pop-sensation was!? LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI don't understand his hairstyle...? My nephew has the same cut? Man am I old.
I know. A yr ago, I had discussions about a tween singer named Jesse McCartney with some of my friends. I don't believe he's related to the legendary Beatles singer, and we couldn't for the life of us figure out what the heck he sang. To this day, I still don't know...
