I’m not sure what to make of this post to be honest… on the one hand, you paint the picture of a man who has refused to move with the times, at least as far as your image, your culture, and I assume as far as music is concerned (this website and the development of Simple Press Forum of course tells a different story technically), whereas on the other hand you profess to being tolerant to other later teenage cultures…

Personally I can relate to how you look and how you have kept your ideals over the years. I suppose in that way we are very similar. But, as far as youth culture of the next generation (especially hip-hop and rap make me cringe) is concerned, I must confess that I am intolerant to the highest level.

I always remember my dad picking me up after a Slade concert in Bradford many many years ago. The man at the door opened it so my dad could have a look at the teenagers jumping up and down and stamping their feet…. He took the mickey out of me for this concert for a good few years. I remember thinking in those days: Why can’t he just stop and listen to the music, and he would like it… He couldn’t of course. And do you know what? I have become just like my dad was on this evening… And do you know another thing? I am proud of it
