I’m not far behind you Martin, and still got that Gen X album, even if I haven’t listened to it for a while!
While you’ll always be teenaged Martin generously taking me off to my first “proper” punk gig at Wapping, you’re also the older Martin exploring the world in different ways. I can like both.
I loved living the immediacy and strength of young life, but I like the reflection and memories, and maybe even a bit of wisdom, that all those intervening years of experience have given. Still out there living, experiencing, arguing the toss, thinking and trying to get things right.
