I always remeber that when I was a little kid, my parents said I would outgrow listening to rock music. Well, that was 18 years ago and I still love rock and roll. Will I still outgrow rock music? Or will I still be going to rock concerts 20 years from now? What do you people out there think about all this? Have any of you outgrown rock and roll? Also, I would be curious as to how old you are?

- Yes, I did outgrew a lot of the stuff that my parents were being subjected to when they said I would outgrow rock n' roll, but if only they can hear what I'm getting into now! In general I think I got a lot more open minded as I got older, and realized as a result that a lot of really weird and different stuff out there are very worthwhile and enjoyable. Au

Also, I would be curious > as to how old you are? Come on! You're never too old to rock and roll. Yeah, my parents said that too - 25 years ago. Sure, rock&roll was pretty simple then, but I was only 9 years old. Rock grew up as I did. Not only do I still love it, so does my wife who is now 44 (and NOT reading over my shoulder as I publish her age to the four corners of the universe!) She remembers some of the things that were just a little before me - hearing four and five great groups at the Fillmore or the Avalon for a mere pittance... You can't outgrow rock and roll, but if you happen to live in the wrong part of the country you can get tired of trying to find good concerts. We're well situated, so all is well with us. Remember: You don't stop playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing. -- Relax - don't worry - have a homebrew. {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd

Interesting that the question "Will you ever grow out of rock 'n roll?"
should be asked. I was told that after I got into high school that I
wouldn't listen to AM radio anymore and that by college I would only
listen to pop/rock occasionally and jazz mostly.
WELL ...
that was 5 years ago, now I'm 23 and still love pop/rock. I must admit,
my taste in music hasn't grown so much into jazz as into adult
contemporary, but that's mainly because on the AC stations they play a
lot of the music I liked from the 70's which you don't hear on pop/rock
stations anymore. As far as listening to AM radio is concerned, I never
totally gave it up, since Hitradio of today is very similar to AM radio
of the late 60's. Any old WABC fans out there?
... seventy-seven, WABC! the music's on us!

The first record I bought was an Eddie Cochran EP with C'mon Everybody/
Sitting in the Balcony/Summertime Blues/Twenty Flight Rock. That was
when it first came out in England (late fifties).
Last Friday I went to a Black Flag concert (very good, btw).
Some people never grow up.
