Don't you know Chris, real men play on 10.
I have tinnitus too. It's not too bad right now but since I'm 37 there are many more years for it to get worse in...
I suspect there are a lot of deaf people on the sound desk. And I suspect publicans sell more beer when the music is loud.

hmmm I commented on this while in Sydney, but it's gone/never appeared. Oh well ....
At 56 I am probably far too old for rock'n'roll and hanging out in bars these days, but I'm not trying to "get down with the kids".
but you carry your age so well dahling!
And to keep this thread alive (albeit on a tangent) perhaps we could discuss this {never-mind-the-beatles}, especially since the NZH TimeOut covered one and not the latter. (Or did I miss something while in Sydney?)

Thirty years...........fark...... The thing is when the whole Pistols thing was going on, we thought Pepper was ridiculously far in the distant past (although I bought it on release, but I was very very young y'know).
The Pistols and our sillyness of 77 doesn't seem that long ago. At least I keep on telling myself that.
in 1977
you're on the never never
you think it can't go on forever
but the papers say it's better
i don't care 'cos i'm not all there
no elvis, beatles or the rolling stones
in 1977The Herald didn't cover in 77..why start now...

You must have been helluva young.
I'd just turned 29 when Never Mind the Bollocks came out.
Brought it home, put on side two, track one, Seventeen:you're only 29 got a lot to learn . . .
I'll be 59 in a couple of months.
Still got a lot to learn, still a lazy sod. -

12.....I persuaded my mother to get it for my birthday, and saved my car washing pennies (which they were until 10 July that year) for With The Beatles, from The PDC in Palmy about the same time.

The PDC in Palmy . . .
Not meaning to overly digress, but it seems likely that you'd also recall Father Christmas's Magic Cave, in Collinson & Cunninghame's basement.

I have to be honest Joe.....I don't. I was an Ohakea lad, our world rarely went all the way up Rangatikei Line to the Square, until I made it to PNBHS in 69.

The astounding thing of course was the time between With The Beatles and Sgt Pepper, was only 3 1/2 years, less that the gap between U2 (or Scribe) albums, and yet the distance they'd managed to drag the world's musical horizons is, even forty years out, mind boggling.
