So, back in the 90's, I used to go to alot of "raves" and night clubs (great times), I even wore the white gloves and a whistle round my neck. My dad used to say, "how can you listen to that rubbish, its to load and all it does is go boom boom boom boom", of course id say "its cos your old dad, get with the times man".
Well last night I went to what they call a "gig" now a days, at the O2 Academy in Leeds to see "Above & Beyond". There Trance dj's. Anyway we had a few drinks in Leeds first then headed to the "gig". I was just about to give them my ticket when to my suprise, I was asked for ID!!!!! Now im 34 and although I dont look my age, I certainly dont look under 18 or even 25, so I was disgusted. I turned away and had a few nasty words to say, then I was asked again by another door man how old I was and i said 34, so he said come with me, ill get you in, which he did.
So a few hours into the "gig" and £75 worse off (drinks were expensive) I found myself standing against a wall with my wife, the bass was so load I could feel it vibrating my insides and shaking every bone in my body. I thought to my self, "my god, this music is repetative and its too load". At that point I realised I had become my dad and I was OLD!!!. I think im going to leave this clubbing/raving/gig lark to the yonger ones and go buy myself a pipe and some slippers.
Well thats my little rant over, im going to go get ready now cos im off to my local working mens club tonight to play 5's & 3's doms. lol
