[Wolves] Introducing myself

[Larry Tomkins]

Hi
have to disagree with the 25 - 35 it hasn't happened
to me yet, have never liked rap or hip hop. I picked
up a copy of nme the other day and 30ish years on Paul
McCartney is still in it ???
Funny thing is that I still like modern music, but I
like much older music now too, so I'm still going
forwards from my youth and also going backwards and
appreciating what my parents liked too.
Larry T.
