I see ‘Spinal Tap II’ is out. I think I’ll give it a miss.
It’s funny how there some jobs where being old doesn’t stop you. And it’s funny that being a rock star – which in some ways is the epitome and the apex of youth culture – is one of those jobs.
The youngest remaining Rolling Stone is 78. The other two are over 80. Still performing. Still selling (lots of) tickets.
I watched the 1500 metres race at the World Athletics Championships yesterday afternoon. The British guy came second and he’s 31 years old – he’s nearly done. He’ll have to retrain now: become a maths teacher, or a miner, or whatever.
I guess technically you can do the 1500 metres if you’re 80 years old but no one is going to pay to watch. It’s a short career. I hope he gets sorted out.
Anyway, best pot tonight is £180 at the Sandport Tavern in lucky Leith. You might see some old middle-distance runners there, but probably no rocks stars.
