There doesn't seem to be. And it seems to be all ages at it. I don't understand it. A lot of folk blame when we were all in lockdown, but plenty of us still using headphones or earphones.

Great thread and comments. I think my 'fuck 'em' phase started a few years ago when I hit my forties.

Cast finally off! Lovely long scarring on elbow. Hand and wrist in a splint still, and have been given exercises to do. Was told nerve damage could take 1-2 years to fully heal. *looks at guitar longingly*

Well, on the bus to the hospital this morning, the guy next to me was watching a video about the IRA. No ear or headphones. Maybe buses should offer earphones like some airlines. Or phone companies can bring back phone jacks.

Penultimate rock choir session for this year. Was told songs ahead of tonight. Continuing Proud Mary (Creedence), The Weight (The Band), and Country Roads (John Denver). Not a particular fan of the last one, but I'll still sing along.

So could maybe tie-in with that. Or there's 12 studio albums so debut in Jan and ends with Wasp Star next Dec?

I don't know if you saw my post the other day but I'm gauging interest for an XTC Listening Party here on Bluesky. If I thought about it earlier, could have done it today on AP's birthday. :)
