I'm 'xacly halfway between 23 and 47 - and I agree - one of the reasons I
migrated to the audities style music is the bands are closer to my age -
can't see myself get pierced up and hangin' out at pop-punk showns singin'
along about how high-school sucks. I remember feeling' really old at an
all-ages Green Day show a few months before Dookie broke - and the potential
of seeing a band live in an environment that includes people I would like to
hang out with is important. So even if I might like some of the younger
stuff I won't invest the time.

It was a good rant. I play 'More Than A Feeling' at 10 on vinyl everytime I
have people over and I'm loaded - if only to point out that Cobain
(admittedly) stole the pre-chorus riff for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.
