Yesterday

[Blarg]

Sounds like you need to refer to "Julia." That's the song on the white album that Lennon wrote about his absent mom.

[man]

if they were making new music and whatnot, that would be all right. but I think jagger was just screaming the same [awesome] songs he had written like thirty years ago, and hasn't come up with any new stuff (has he?). to me, rock and roll is about youthful (usually sexual) energy, which is really hard to do much past 30.

it beats spears and [censored] acts like creed and theory of a dead man, but I still don't like it.

I'm sorry you miss your mom. You seem lonely.

[Blarg]

He was still coming out with stuff in the 80's and 90's. I don't know what he's been up to lately.

You know guys like that are always being pestered to do their old stuff whether they want to or not. People are so crazy for the old stuff that it's hard to do anything new.

what ever happened to Boyz2Men? They were great for getting 6th and 7th grade girls in the mood for a hot french kiss session. girls never wanted to give up the 3rd base til 9th grade...and the ones who did usually ended up having a kid before college.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm.

honestly I have very little patience for old musicians who try to rock it like they used to. I know the nostalgia market is huge, but come on.. have some dignity. mick jagger screaming "I can't get no satisfaction" when he might not even be able to get it up is just a sad and pity-filling idea.

my sincerest sympathy, RYL, but..

consider this thread hijacked.

Tsk tsk. That would ring truer about Mick if people hadn't been saying it for 20 years. And Keith can still play fine.

A lot of music is about the strut, but even if you get creaky old hips, if the music is there, it doesn't matter. Guys like Frank Sinatra started out as teen sensations, too, and they were allowed to grow old like every other human being without having to disappear off the face of the earth.

When the voice goes bad, it's another thing. I can hear McCartney's is definitely not as good. Haven't heard Jagger's lately myself, but his voice was never beautiful anyway, so if it has decayed much, I'm not sure how much that might matter.

Anyway, I'd rather hear an old Mick Jagger than a young Brittney or almost all of your average yearly run of pop music.

Dude. I saw The Stones live in 1981 and they were old then! We all thought that it would be the last chance to see them, not knowing that it would be the last time we'd actually want to. The show kicked ass, but they don't know when to say when.
