Re: Oldest Rocker In Town

These posts have brought a smile to me face!   I can't stop the flash- image of that old lady in Something About Mary or Estelle Getty surfing the crowd.  Just get me some industrial strength hearing aids and I'll be ready when it's my turn.

Rock N Roll will never die. In the case of Atomic War the only thing that will survive will be cockroaches and Keith Richards.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.
