I'm getting old.
My 15 yo son asked me to take him to a concert last Sunday. Now, I'm mostly a prog rock kind of guy, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been to 100's of concerts, so I was pretty laid back about going.
The band was called Streetlight Manifesto. The genre is "ska punk". I've never even heard of ska.
Let me tell you, this band rocked the house! I didn't fully understand what they were doing musically, nor could I comprehend the lyrics, but the crowd loved them and knew every song by heart. The energy was great, and the bands musicianship was fantastic.
I was easily the oldest dude there, but I really enjoyed it. It pays to step out of your musical comfort zone.
