Ask people of various ages about their favourite music and what do you get? Perhaps more common ground between the generations than you'd expect.A Pew Research Center survey found the Beatles high on the list of every age group. Other acts from the 1960s and 1970s proved to be popular among people who were too young to have known them when they performed. Like I've always believed, the music from the seventies was inspired...it excelled.
Among those under 30, Michael Jackson was the No. 1 pick. For those 30-49, the Eagles won out. People 50-64 picked the Beatles - the winners overall. For those over sixty five, Frank Sinatra can't be beat. In all groups, the Beatles came a close second.
Rock was the favourite type of music for every age group except for those over sixty five. Older people preferred country music, followed by classical.

I'm sorry to hear you have to have the cataract surgery.I've had it.It irritates your eyes for a day or two.It's no big deal.
ReplyDeleteI had no choice.I couldn't bloody well see anything.Age is not a factor.I met a thirty four year old having cataract surgery.
It will really help your sight.
The twins went off with Bio today for a week.I hope he takes care of Jake.It's so hot up here now.Canada's Wonderland is a huge place and Jakey will get exhausted or heat stroke if they don't take care.See ya later honey.I'll go see your other comments.
