As for Old Farts, I may be in my late 60s but have a mind of a 16 year old. I'm with you Getalife. I'm 65 but I just have to put on a favourite album and I'm instantly that 17 year old scouring the record shop for new releases on Vertigo and running round the second hand shops looking for Immediate and Regal Zonophone albums. The only time I turn into an old fart (literally) is after a dose of home made Lentil Soup My son's 17 and over the last few years has got himself a great collection. Borrowing a load of my vinyl and getting his own copies of some of them is quite satisfying really. He's had his own artists that he's discovered, but an appreciation of a range of artists from the Music Machine, The Beatles and The Who to Squire and The Times reflect influences growing up, but also how good some of these bands sound to teenage ears. Gabriel era Genesis too.....
