The Old Gray Hairs They Ain't Where They Used to Be.

Like last week's egg salad
I realize I'm getting older, just as I realize we're ALL getting older. I just didn't think I was getting, you know, OLD.
So I'm sitting in front of the television, not watching. A commercial is on. I am not watching the commercial, and, considering how my mind works, I am not hearing it, because I am not watching it. My mind is not stupid, however, so when My Darling Wife calls to me from the other room, her particular frequency is detected, identified, and a response quickly prepared.
"Hey is that a commercial?"
"Yes"
"What commercial is that? That's the Buzzcocks." She's a fan.
"Hold on."
Now I focused my attention on the commercial. Now it was a problem to be solved. Only, once I solved it, I didn't want the answer I found. I knew she wouldn't want to hear the answer either.
That's right. I couldn't believe it. And you know who was on the first page of their website? (well, probably, since you should have just clicked on it)
THIS guy:
Do you remember when he was cool? Yeah, it was a while ago. That was when the Buzzcocks released that song. So, for those of you playing at home, which of these guys represented a musical revolution, kicking the dust of the Sixties and the glitter of disco off their pointy shoes? Which one wrote songs to make young girls cry? Which ones look like they could be friends with your dad? ONE TWO THREE or FOUR?
Discuss.
Best,
Mr. P.
