Too old to be cool

January 24, 2007 at 4:06 AM

My husband just got a call to contract local musicians for a well-known pop artist in March, so I should get to play (though I may need to hide my well earned streak of gray). The contractor likes the orchestra to look "young" and well, I look like somebody's mom (because I am!). We have already aged ourselves out of a certain very popular pyro-laden Christmas show we used to play. And now my old geezer bones better go to sleep so that I can teach my young whippersnappers at 7:45 a.m.

I'm somebody's mom too . . . I hope you get to play this one, and many more. It's important that kids see people's moms in other roles.

I have played that popular pyro-laden X-mas show for two years now here, and I have noticed that the guys running the joint seem to be at the mid-century mark...at least!

Some people just have no respect. I suggest that you dress in something totally inappropriate for the elderly woman you are. The same is true for your cosmetics and hairstyle. Consider dying your hair blue, too.

Greetings,
seems like codswallop to me. A `mom` is simply someone proven to have more stamina and resourcefulness than the average person.
Cheers,
Buri
