OK, you know you’re getting old when you voluntarily leave the loud front row of a rock concert to seek the relative serenity of the cheap seats where the music isn’t quite as hard on your aging ears.I found myself actually doing this Friday evening while I was at Ascend Amphitheatre covering our high school chorus performing on stage with the rock group Foreigner – one of my favorite groups growing up. I’d gotten the call to go the day before and pretty well jumped at it since I really like Foreigner and their warm up group, Cheap Trick, plus the chorus director had hooked me up with a photo pass.In the old days, meaning back in my teenage years and into my mid-20s, getting such a pass would have been the holy grail of rock n' roll. Seeing I wasn’t a rich kid, my views of the legends of rock came from deep in the grass seats at Starwood Amphitheatre or from the nose bleed section of Municipal Auditorium.
It was too loud, so I must be too old
