I thumbed through my music collection the other day. It's a bit thin on the ground, just a few CDs now, the vinyls are long gone, to charity. No cassettes either, they were rubbish!

They said the CD was the future but they're nearly obsolete. If you don't listen to music on a radio anymore its likely the music is downloaded. Can’t fathom the technology myself. I think I might just hold on to those CDs a bit longer..

I was feeling nostalgic. Remembering the soundtrack of my youth. Mainly 1970s, R&B, soul, a bit of soft rock. And it got me thinking, not only are some of these musicians still alive, but they are still working, not in a studio but out there touring. Do they need the money or what? I appreciate the lifestyle of a rock legend is costly. Oh the wild parties, the sex, the drugs, and the vegan chef- all have to be paid for.

But “the great songs” were about, love, loss, heartache, tears, being misunderstood, the generational divide. It was about ‘sticking it’ to your parents, they didn’t understand the music .It was something parents just didn’t get, and the louder, the better!

And that is what I don’t get about iconic bands touring, rolling back the years, the audience having their youth rekindled, watching 70 year olds trying to be, well, 25 years old again.

But why don’t we have more songs about, ageing, mortality, social care, losing partners, dementia, arthritis - and remember love, loss, heartache, tears, being misunderstood?

The generational divide is not just for the young generation. These things still matter when you are old. It can be done! So come on Daltry, Jagger, Springsteen: get writing those tracks..
