Tonight my wife and I went to see a Doo Wop concert. Doc Wop is music from the 50s and 60s. Today's youngsters wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole (poles don't grow that high, maybe seven feet if he is a basketball player).
But the genre seems to be pretty popular between the advanced age groups. The theater was full and the average age was about 70. There was more gray hair and lack of hair visible than at any other place except at a AARP convention.
We enjoyed the music even though I never grew up with it but still like it. There were some groups from the olden days but with the exception of maybe one original member who owned the name the rest were new ones. But to their credits they all performed exceptionally good.
The audience was on their feet (those who could stand without asistance) a lots of times.
During the concert I came to the conclusion that old people must pee a lot. There was so much walking in and out of the auditorium during the show that it was unbelievable.
Just for the record, I didn't go out at all.
