Mrs. Gradenko, are you beginning to feel a little bit old?

I had to fight w/ my parents to see them back starting w/the Ghost tour; now I have to fight with the husband to keep it up. Too bad at 41, I still haven't grown up. At least this year I didn't have to bash my head against the headboard to persuade my parents to let me go. Um, well maybe I did, come to think of it... Made it to the Whisky AND Vancouver, with several more to go. Next up: Phoenix!

[georgygirl]

michelle, anyway you are lucky to see The Police live, no matter if you have to fight with some people to see them...

Looking back, yes. Two decades sounds ancient, you know...

Looks like I'll be your host for the pre show fan party?

Now if they'd just set the damn date!

Sure, I remember when I was 20, I began to feel a little bit old, so just imagine how ancient I feel now...

Anyway sometimes is amazing, and more because The Police is back and I can remember that old part of my life when I met this band (1980)

I like to think of myself as a 30-something *professional* fuck-up.

[smudge]

Another 30-something 'not exactly fuck up but why haven't you had kids yet' sort of person here.

I think Regatta was the second album by anyone that I ever bought. Saw them on the Synchronicity tour - my first ever gig. Managed to remain remarkably sanguine about the fact that they appeared to be no more. Then that bloody announcement was made and all of a sudden instead of doing sensible things (choosing a new sofa, trying to get on an MBA course, sending birthday presents to nephew/neice/sister in law), I'm fretting about being a flag custodian...

I guess if I spot any other warning signs (stamping foot and yelling 'its not fair!!', drinking cider, singing into a hairbrush), I'll know I've regressed fully back to age 14.

[Hannaha]

Hey smudge, not having kids doesn't make you any kind of fuck-up in my book... in fact it makes you very sensible and, probably, lucky!

(no offence to the many loving parents on here but it's not for everyone!)

[quote="conroy"]A lot of us are mid-30's professionals (of what?! I haven't figured that one out yet, though I like Duke's "fuck ups") who were too young to go see them live the first time around. I didn't become a fan until Synchronicity came out in 1983.[/quote]

Ditto for me except that I was a fan starting with Zenyatta. I lived in North Dakota. Is that enough said about why i didn't ever get to see the police live? I think so.

Cha!

Still haven't really progressed beyond that!

I turned 40 last week and I never felt better then 2007 - no really.
Just a great year, new dog, new job, new love, and four Police gigs in the fall ... the sun shines out of my butt.
Feeling old? My godchild (21 now) got tickets for the Mannheim show for himself and the g/f.
Me: "Moshpit?" He: "No my g/f wants to sit down in a concert!" (she is 18 ) Me: "Loser" He: "I know!"

The European gigs have real moshpits, no chairs. I predict some slam dancing for "So Lonely" - Mannheim will have one, I will start it!

We are the class they won't be able to teach cuz we know better ...

[quote="Duke"]Are we all forty-somethings professionals?<<

god I hope I never become one of those. I enjoy being a 30ish fuck up.


Can I be a late (nearly 40) 30ish nubile fuck up? Ok, truth be told I was a teenager (14) when the Syncronicity tour came to town and wasn't allowed to go as per the parental units. I remember the ads promoting The Clash (my second favourite band - bar none) playing down in Seattle and the resounding "no bloody way are you going to see that concert". Heartbreaker.
Feeling Old ?: Try this one on; my wife and I have a granddaughter now so that makes me a hotty grandpa? Yeah right!

HEY DUKE: Your quote speaks volumes.....RIP John Graham Mellor (Joe Strummer)

[English-lion]
