Strong statement and example how a song can cuts both sides: and as RELEVANT in both sides!
I really hope I will be able to play Bonnie or dance and sing at that age, or simple ....can still be me!

Paul, that was great.  I really love the old lady doing the windmill on the guitar.

Spider Ollie should see this!
And Brother Mike who's Wife was Decaptivated!
I am disappointed about the bass but if I am well informed John could have been playing that on an old Fender!

That was great!  Reminds me of an old Harry Nilsson song I'd Rather Be Dead recorded with a senior citizen chorus.   Here's (http://youtube.com/watch?v=6u0Ps5qblYI) a link to a youtube video on the making.  The song starts at about 6:30 in.  Old people rock!
 
Bill, tgo

very funny, although I didn't like the bass solo much, why deviate from entwistle's fantastic original?

Even JE deviated from the original many times.

One of this month's UK's guitar mags (Guitar World?) has a top 10 things-you-should-know-about-JE. He started the recording session for My Generation on a Danelectro, and broke it. He then went out and bought three basses just to be on the safe side. The final cut was done on a Precision.
 
Now here's the rub: legend has it that the earlier solos were a lot more elaborate than the one we all know and love.

Not quite. It's the Jazz 'axe' bass that he played in the movie 'Tommy' Although it had received a new neck with bound headstock by 1971...
