peter48 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Lets not be ageist here. Paul McCartney at Glastonbury was incredible the other week for several energetic hours and he is 80. Surely we should be more forgiving & respectfull to senior gentlemen who go to Thailand in their later years. There are few other alternatives, surely?

It's a wonder to me why these people continue to perform and I don't believe it is because they want to. Some people {Tom Jones} as an example are born singers and performers. Instead of sitting at home dying of old age they prefer to do what they love to do. Sing... and Tom still has it . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhabal Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 In the early sixties, Engelbert, Tom Jones and Cliff Richard were the stars of the world. Young people may not like their songs but the old ones have a sentimental memories of those days. My Thai landlord a retired general in the army in his 72 years of age plays their songs day and night. and I, myself have been one of the biggest fan of them. Insulting the elderly only shows how low you are, and no one asks for your opinion, or pushing you to attend, it's merely information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for his singing, I've heard a better noise flushing the toilet. I think he was one of the most musical, lyrically clever songwriters of the 70/80s, a very unique piano style. If you don't like Ooh Wakka Day, what about Da do doo doo, da dah dah dah (Police), Obladi Oblada, Da Doo Ron Ron, Sha la la la lee, Doo Wah Diddy Diddy, Hi Lilly hi low and many many more.

peter48 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Well to reiterate McCartney at 80 ( age not important) wowed millions on late night BBC 1 TV at Glastonbury with a performance at least 2.5 hrs long with new songs and all the greats. His talent, energy and connection with the massive crowds was awesome. Age is not important- its your performance and his fantastic orchestra and guests too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
