fans over 40

Bird889

as I posted earlier I am 51, and been to over 30 shows...and the best part is that my two teenage sons have been to over 20 of those shows with me. Our mutual love for PJ sometimes exceeded our patience with each other during the teenage years. But we got through them, togeather, with some help from the band. We've really been able to bond over the years, traveling to Canada, west coast, east coast and place in between...

I really feel lucky.

and even though I love seeing PJ live, I usually go to 20-30 live shows a year. I have a pretty varied interest in music, and would rather do a live show then just about anything.

I think this is right. I copied and pasted the first time instead of just hitting quote.

40 and a die hard since Ten blew up.

Previous post mentioned a cassette, I remember them well.

Yield side A would end with Pilate and I would then have to hit FF so it could auto flip to DTE.

My auto's CD changer currently has Yield, Vs., Vitalogy, Backspacer, Lost Dogs 1, Merkinball

95% of the music I listen to is PJ.

Nothing else compares.

I Totally agree!!!!!!!!! NOTHING else compares!

And...
concerts will have to start at 2 PM so we don't miss our early bird dinners
They will be playing Florida a lot more often
the 10 C will have PJ hearing aids and dentures in the goods section

Well, if they play Florida more often, that'll suit me just fine.

10C tickets will be going on sale for Century Village Retirement Home in 2030. Only 1 per member since all your significant others have passed on...

Haven't been on so much, mostly on FB now, but we definitely fit the bill! 54 and 60! Been here from the beginning and still going strong!

Merry Christmas <B' I sent you a message on FB.

I just had a birthday and I am at the point where I want to travel now, as much as I can. I see lots of people that have done their share of standing in lines at shows and they still are raring to go!

( of course then they have to sleep for two weeks)
