To the theatre they went,
Four old guys with their sticks
And with their walking frames.
The sign on the theatre shone,
Shone with the sign which said,
“Tonight: 60s Rock and Roll Band”,
As the old guys went in
A young man spoke to them,
“aren’t you guys a little old,
A little old to listen to a rock and roll band?”
One of the old guys stopped,
Stopped and looked at him,
Then said to the young man,
“We are the Rock and Roll Band!”

Hi Andy.
Had to laugh at this one. I could see the whole thing happening. Sometimes we lose track of the years and think we're twenty again. And so what, just as long as we are happy. Loved it. - Phil A
Thank you Phil, that is so true.

The passage of time.. not kind is it Andy?. Deadheads everywhere unable to realise that it will happen to them one day...unless they decide to terminate early... recommended action - a star move.
Very true Dave but we are still here and will be for a long time to come.
