Spread you wings, Mitch. There are so many talented artists/bands out there; as much as we love the music from our generation we are not so stuck in the past that we cannot appreciate what is out there today.
I realize Mitch is being tongue in cheek here; I get it.
I agree 100%. I'm 70 and loveD the music of my era but I don't need to hear it again. After all of the years, I've heard it enough. I spent 5 hours last Sunday in a car with my nephew (in his early 40's) playing that music and I thought I'd scream. Heard it enough!!! No olden goldies for me.
I listen to current and recently current music and LOVE it.

I have heard several I love including the Eagles!

@Bridgegal There is some great current music out there and I do wish people would take the time to expand into new areas.
I have "oldies" on my iPod but I also have current tunes and classical music.
It's funny because our teen grandson knows tunes from the '70's; his taste in music ranges just like ours and that of his dad.
I do prefer current music but I still like some oldies, mostly those from the '70's.

I must be the only 62 year old who has never been to a concert of any kind.

I hate crowds, but I would go to an Eagle's concert if they came to our area.

@handygal2Let me talk old In Springfield, Missouri (close to where I grew up) they were having their "Route 66 Festival" this weekend. Tonight "Three Dog Night" played. I saw them in concert in Springfield over 40 years ago

I saw Don Henley last summer and he said The Eagles were no more since Glenn passed away. But then this summer- Deacon Frey filled in for his Dad! I already ahd tickets for another show- and I have hopes the band continues.

I enjoyed every one, despite all of the annoyances Mr. Albom mentions, lol.
@handygal2 Definitey see the Queen show if it comes to your area, I traveled 2 hrs for th show in fact! Adam Lambert would make Freddie proud.
I've seen everyone on your list - Billy Joel probably 15 times over the years (I'm a NY'er ) - except Michael McDonald !! One of my upcoming shows is Paul McCartney- what energy! He played for 3 hrs non-stop last time I saw him a few years back.
@Ibby114: I'm a NY'er too. The McCartney performance l saw was one of the farewell to Shea Stadium concerts. Wonderful! Enjoy your upcoming one!
@handygal2 Billy Joel closed Shea Stadium (Paul McCartney joined him for a duet- many others did as well!) and Paul McCartney was the first concert at Citifield. I was at both shows!

@Ibby114: You're right. I think l AM getting old, lol. I was also at both of those concerts, and l got the timing of the McCartney one mixed up.
l recall the significance of it-- the Beatles were the first concert at Shea, and so McCartney was the first one at Citifield.
