    This is an inspiring thread! I am 33, but the friends I hang out with are 40 - 50. I value their wisdom and support!

    Those of you, who may know me from touring, facebook, here, RM whatever, will know what I always say. But I'll repeat it here anyway:

    I ain't old as long as my heroes are on stage, kicking ass!!!
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    This thread is funny.
    Here I was thinking I was just an Old Fart having a fun time with the Young ones on the board and find out we're all old farts!
    Ha, we're still rocking our heads off!
    I reckon it's the music we listen to, it keeps us immature, oops, I mean young. 8-)
  • smilesometimessmilesometimes Posts: 12
    Yay! I love this thread. 39. Ever since I got told at the 10/31 show by a young and drunk collegiate type that I was old.. I was wondering. Now I feel better :D Rock on.

    considering the band is in THEIR 40's... it would make sense yes?

    :!:

    Yep. Makes perfect sense that a lot of fans would be in the same age group as the band.

    OMG, I'm almost embarrased to say this, but I turned 40 the year "Ten" was released! I'd just gotten divorced from a guy who's musical tastes were way out of synch with my own, and a (somewhat younger) friend turned me on to PJ. I've been a mega-fan ever since! Bounced thru 2 LA shows this year, was black & blue and hoarse afterwards, but felt great! Those 2 nights were the highlight of 2009 for me. I guess I should grow up one of these days. :lol:

  • pumpkinheadpumpkinhead Posts: 570
    GOOD. I'm over 40 too. Went to philly concert and I was shocked at all the young fans. Going to many more concerts. I started this thread and it's making me feel better. I've been connecting with others through PM. It's great to chat with the REAL FANS. Take care.

    I'm turning 45 on New Years Eve. It all started with Temple of the Dog...
    I live in Sweden and since Pearl Jam don't come here that often (not since 2000) I have not seen them live that many times. Last year I went to Berlin and Seattle and next year I will go to Dublin and Belfast :D . All my friends, family and colleagues at work think I'm totally crazy... But I don't care. I see it as a great opportunity to see different places around the world at the same time as I get to see the best band in the world perform live...

    Happy holidays to all of you!!
