Conversation held out in the garage a few minutes ago:
P: Dude, did you hear that Blue Oyster Cult is playing at the Temple in Tacoma next month?
Me: Aren't they kind of old now? They must be in their 50's, maybe their 60's.
S (P's friend): Yeah, that's just wrong.
P: It doesn't matter! It's Blue Oyster Cult.
S: It's like the Beach Boys singing "Be True to Your School" now. It's bad.
Me: And they don't sound the same. Not like they used to. Oh, they try to sound the same, but they don't.
S: And they look so stupid trying.
Me: Think about it. It's like Rosemary Clooney. When she was young, she was a hottie. And she had a great voice. She sold lots of albums. But can you imagine her giving a concert now? Would she sound the same? No, she's old and she sounds old.
S: Yup. It's the same thing. Exactly the same thing.
Me: Except that she's dead.
S: Yeah, except for that.
