    It’s weird. I saw Wheatus perform recently and he did a bunch of songs I wasn’t familiar with. Then he played his most famous song, “Teenage Dirtbag”, that they made in like 2000.

    The band is like grandparents age, singing a song about teenagers. And it was incredible.

      I’ve been seeing a bunch of ‘80s bands in concert lately singing their bestof’s and some newer stuff. Of course they’re old and singing songs about young person’s lives. I don’t find the disparity between their age and the subject matter offputting. The downside to older musicians singing songs they made when young is that age keeps them from hitting the high notes or anything that’s too hard on the voice. They just can’t do it. The music and being there is still fun, though.
