Not greatly, but I do admire performers who just can't leave the stage behind.
Nostalgia is over-rated. When I was a teenager the Spice Girls were the most exciting thing in my world. Would I go to see them now if they reunited? I doubt very much.
My family watched Ed Sullivan (noted for hosting The Beatles for 2 or 3 shows in the mid-60s) and he had a soft spot for an old time singer named Sophie Tucker (she looked 100 yrs old to me when I was 12 or so). She was billed (forever I'd guess) as The Last of the Red Hot Mamas. When she'd finish her song Ed's voice would crack and his eyes would mist as he thanked her for gracing his stage.
I do love live music but I simply won't pay the sort of ticket prices to see my favourites. I have plenty of memories of most of the biggest stars on the planet and the everyday playlist on my computer currently stands at 11,490 tracks......
@rinkydinkydoink I know I love the Stone's music but Christ this guys are my Mom's age and she just died at 82. Comes a point where you don't want to see extremely old rockers.
