Late in the game, I’m tired as hell
Got a mortgage, three cars and a dog.
I ride a desk in the light
Then sling an axe at night
And I’ll rock through the dark to the dawn.
Laugh all you want, call names at my face
I refuse to come into your fold
But when it’s time to get down
you better stick around
coz I’ll prove that you’re NEVER TOO OLD!
Someone jokingly/seriously asked me, “Don’t you think you’re a little old to be doing that?” when I mentioned that I’m trying to start a band. Luckily I didn’t know this person too well, otherwise I probably would have seriously ripped on them. I just calmly replied, “No,” and smiled. That pretty much ended the conversation (though I had some VERY choice words that I held back out of politeness).
I guess the point to all this is that at least to me, being too old to do something is really a state of mind. My thought is if you have the desire and the skills. Why the f$%k not go for it?
Look at Keith Richards! That dude still rocks after all these years…. and transfusions and drug abuse and alcohol abuse… He’s still standing, he can still play. So he does. I’m not too big of a fan of his lifestyle, but I am a fan of his never-ending desire to play. To me, that’s what rockin’s all about.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you you’re too old to rock. You’re NEVER too old to rock and roll!

Dude; Loved this post. It’s right on and so true. I may be getting older, but I steadfastly refuse to grow up. Rock n Roll keeps us young! Besides, it’s waaaay too much fun! Rock on dude. Phil
Well Phil, you’re proof positive of that considering you were one of the first to see Les Paul play his “log” guitar live. 🙂 JK!
