Perry Como was my favourite when I was in primary school and Elvis was just starting out.

Gave us something to do trying to catch that falling star

16000 baht gee whiz paeng

i can but 500 small tins of leo for this money.....means in my case 250 nights drinking in my condo.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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? 

Why these old farts carry on is beyond me. Everyone raving about McCartney appearing in the recent jubilee celebrations, let's say it as it was he was absolute <deleted>.

I heard he died.

Engelbert is a master but he must be 90 by now or close to it. 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 .

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.

There goes my everything.

They carry on because they love what they do and still perform to sell out crowds. Same with the Stones.

He's dosing-down right nextdoor to Elvis

As did Gilbert O Sullivan. Gordon Mills, A right criminal.

Gilbert O'Sullivan was dreadful, terrible voice and song writing ability. How he had any hits I just cannot understand.

"Oh Wakka doo Wakka day?? What does that mean?? Is that what one would call song writing ability??  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.

Nothing Rhymed, Alone Again and Claire were masterpieces.

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.

Lennon was the talented one

It comes with a 3 course meal, I am sure its not a 3 course geriatric meal with Ensure as the first course,

Blended Steak protein shake with green Jello with fruit inside as the main course,

a

 

And the 3rd course a jar of Gerber Organic Prune to ensure a bowel movement is easy in the morning....

They'll be selling these bad boys at the door!
