Actually, I don't feel too bad, certainly not OLD! I used to think of where my Dad was at my age? Born during The Battle of the Somme on 11 July 1916, so he was my age now in 1975. I was 21 & thought the idea of being 30 let alone reaching the 21st Century was ludicrous.
There used to be a time when most rock stars DID die before they got old, but now they are reaching personable age. Reg Presley of The Troggs was the most recent of my heroes to pass away at 71 I think?
Now I'm sitting with my friend Pauline listening to 'Yesterday.' Time to stop before sentiment becomes maudlin.
