I was out the other night, at a Fender Guitar Import Presentation at the Tuning Fork in Auckland, and having a wonderful time.
Before the show commenced, my wife and I were enjoying a cold beer and soaking up the atmosphere - when over the venue speakers came the magic sound of Bryan Adams singing "Run To You."
I watched with some mild amusement at an aged man - definitely in his mid-to-late 60's - lost in his own world and without concern for appearance, rocking back in forth in his seat and mouthing the words to the song in perfect unison.
I was about to turn to my wife and say - 'Look at the old fella... rocking out' - not in a demeaning way but in a 'possum in my headlights' kind of way - when a terrible realisation suddenly dawned on me.
When this song was released back in the 80's, he was my age now...
Isn't life damned depressing? Well, the beer was nice...
