I'm getting on in years and it really does feel like yoof culture of the last decade plus has passed me by.
I bought a copy of Kerrang pre Christmas and i recognised mabye a dozen bands. 'sigh'
A dozen is good. Got the last NME out and hardly knew any bands bar the big international shite.
There is a passage in Nick Hornsby’s novel, High Fidelity, which alludes to that very subject and how it is a mile marker in the journey of life.
The novel’s main character is a music obsessed baby boomer and it chronicles his life as he sets up a second hand record store dahn that Lahndan in the 70s and 80s.
Other music obsessives come in the shop and he always knows the obscure songs by even more obscure bands they enquire after and he can always procure it for them.
Anyway, time moves on.
And one day in the 90s he is approaching 40 and walking down the street when he sees one of those big advertising billboards up on a wall, giving details of all the gigs coming up.
And he realises.....he doesn’t recognise the name of one band up there
It happens to us all CJ.
Alex Young, Howard Kendall, Andy King, Timmy Cahill, Dixie Dean and Mike Parry.....we'll never see the likes of them again.
