I remember watching a video of The Who whereupon Pete Townsend something to the
effect that he would be dead by the age of 50 (mind you, this is an interview
VERY early on in the career of The Who). Many years later, the producers of the
video played the interview back to Pete. His reaction? "WOT?!?"

It's a bad scene when we are over the hill at 22 :(

True story:
A few weeks ago I was hanging out at the local once-a-week night,
Smooth, with some other members of the local Techno Oldfarts
(ages 25-33 or so) Society. Russ "Ferox" Gabriel was spinning
and he did a half-hour electro mini-set. An elderly friend
and myself [:)] went absolutely nuts after getting to hear
"Time Space Transmat", "Planet Rock", "Tour De France", "Rockit",
and "Numbers", alongside some newer Ectomorph and RAC tracks,
in quick succession. Of course, the highlight was hearing one
16-year-old say to the kid standing next to him "This is what I
think they call 'old-school'" (you could hear the quotation marks
in his voice.) I felt like whipping out the Geritol. :/
On the plus side, another group of teenagers were spotted on
another part of the floor breakdancing. I wonder where they
picked it up...
