Reminders you're getting old

Hurt my knee when I missed a step coming down a ladder. Did not go to a doctor (feel like an idiot now). 6-weeks on, the constant lean caused by the pain led to re-aggravating my herniated disc. So, now I can’t bend my knee AND I can’t be seated without insane pain.

Joy.

Sorry to hear that, mate.
Gonna be a lot of rest for you…

Have a long-awaited trip to Europe in late June, Wim, so hoping I can get somewhat normal by then. Doctor being seen tomorrow morning!

Reckon it is stubbornness that’s caused this, not old age.

Although they do say you get more stubborn as you get older. So maybe it’s a chicken/egg scenario.

You are right. On both points.

Really late to this conversation but Nebraska is my favourite album of Springsteens. Not a bad song on it, with Highway Patrolman my favourite.

I can’t bear this Springsteen chat. Born in the USA was totally ye when it came out. It sounded so dated and the earlier stuff sounded like old man @swoodley music. He had a bloke in the band that played sax that he rated and kept on board for years (1972-2011) FFS.

@BAAKKEERRRR help me out!

Surely I’m not that old

I always knew you were a closet Springsteen fan with a penchant for big black sax players @hambo

PS: You missed the Cold Chisel discussion earlier this arvo (in the Music you’ve been listening to thread).

I’m sure you would have enjoyed it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Neil Young has just dropped from first place on the ye olde ladder

That man is still rocking with Crazy Horse…he will still be playing on his death bed I reckon.

TBH I’m a fan of the Hey Hey My My cover that @coldblood posted in the DJ thread.

I don’t recall that…who did the cover?

Devo and Neil Young. It’s a glorious train wreck

That doesn’t surprise me…I love his music but when he gets it wrong…I remember seeing him here in Perth about 30 odd years ago during his thrash metal stage…one of the worst concerts I’ve ever been to.
