Talkin' about My Generation

Hope I die before I get old?

I love it but can't believe it is 50 years old. I was sure it was a song written for "my" generation but I'm only 53 ! I must have listened to it in the womb although can't imagine my mum listening to The Who

My grandma used to say that roses even when she was in her late 90's. Maybe she was a secret Who fan

Good for her, gillybob!

My grandma used to say she didn't like the company of 'old people'

That's my generation!

DH's too. He's always been a Who fan.
I wasn't quiet a teenager 50 yrs ago

I saw them in Abu Dhabi last year, wow, what a fabulous show, they certainly had everyone 'talking about their generation'. They sounded and rocked the stage equally as good as they did 50years ago.

I saw Pete Townshend confronted with his lyric on telly just recently. I forget the argument he came up with to wriggle out of it now.

50 years? Blimey. It only seems five minutes since my me and my friends were desperately trying to get a boyfriend who had a scooter and wore a Parka. Was never keen on The Who though (I was too wrapped up in the Beatles) but can appreciate their music more now.

I heard the song on the radio today, and remembered that there was some fuss made in certain quarters about the fact that Roger Daltrey deliberately stammered while singing the lyrics.

I can't remember what The Who's explanation for it was...

He forgot the words?

I don't think so, roses!
