Accrington Web - View Single Post - How many 'wrinklies' would pay to see this reunion

I suppose I can be classed as a "wrinklie", as I'm just slightly older than Rod Stewart, but I wouldn't cross the street to see him.

Fifty years ago I would have given a lot to see Elvis but, if he were alive today, I doubt I'd bother as he would be 74 and, no doubt, the sex appeal would have erroded a bit. Likewise the Beatles - have you seen Paul McCartney recently? He looks like an elderly, not very well, Cocker Spaniel.

I paid £10 to see the British Glenn Miller Orchestra, in Warrington, a few years ago. Obviously the musicians in the band were just young blokes who weren't born when Miller died but they played every piece note-perfect and it was a fantastic show. Some music is just timeless.
