If death cab came out with a whole album about making out in cars and losing your skateboard to cops that would be not the onion material

"We looked like giants... but nowadays we just look fucken old."

Oh, man. I haven’t thought about this in years, but someone did an interview re: punk music in the peak Green Day years, the gist of which was dunking on bands full of grown ass adults complaining that their dads were making them do their homework. Does anyone else remember this with more specificity?

This is an example of self-awareness. It doesn't belong here.

If Betty White was still with us, she'd write that song and IT WOULD ROCK! God rest her soul...

It is about time Mick Jagger got some satisfaction. I mean time waits for no one.

I shudder at Mike Love fronting a weakened Beach Boys band in his 70s, singing: "I'm getting bugged, driving up and down the same old strip / I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip..." Ah, pathetic.

It's a nonsense argument though. Labels weren't signing random teenager bands. Like Blink 182 formed when they were 17 but Cheshire Cat didn't come out until they were already 20. Linkin Park is also an example where they form in highschool and then it still takes 4 years for their first cd to come out. The height of their popularity is always going to be after years of hard work. It's like looking at the baseball hall of fame and then complaining that they only choose old people who aren't in their prime anymore.

Oh. I think mcjagger can get plenty; if you know what I mean. He's got plenty of girl reaction. Ok. The guy fucks is what I'm saying.

I remember seeing a post of his on Twitter where he was at a bar and no one recognized him, and he seemed to be having a "what the fuck, how do they not recognize me" type attitude. And it's like...."you're 90. In a big hat and long coat, at a bar. Why the fuck should they recognize you?"

Well he is 79 at the moment.

Lol, still, when at a bar surrounded by 20 somethings, shouldn't really expect to get recognized, as he is not really relevant to the current generation. Outside a random commercial they might see. Most younger people probably aren't looking up pictures of him just because they recognize a song or two.

Hard to say.

When Robert Plant did the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, it was the most crowded event I ever attended. So crowded it would be one of those situations where if there is a panic, someone will be trampled to death.

The kids just love Led Zeppelin.

Ya, Led Zeppelin is Led Zeppelin though.... and Robert Plant is fucjing Robert Plant!!!

Mic Jagger is just a really old guy in a big hat and a long coat.... we established this.

Plant is 74.

The Band of Joy is worth seeing. I often pay for acts when they tour that I see for free at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.

Plant does a few old Zeppelin songs. Never "Stairway to Heaven" as far as I know.

I know it is sacrilege but Jagger is the better song writer of the two.

But Led Zeppelin would be the better experience, for sure.

And im pretty sure Jimmy Page owns stairway to heaven. As he's the credited producer. But it coukd also just be Robert Plant.

He once gave 10 grand to an oregon radio station, during a fund drive. Because the DJ promised to not play stairway to heaven if people donated.

Plant was driving through Oregon and heard it on the radio. And when asked said it wasn't because he disliked the song. But because he'd heard it before, and liked that the station played non mainstream stuff that he hadn't necessarily heard before.
