And I mean that literally! A new rock band “The Zimmers” released their absolutely amazing version of The Who’s “My Generation”. About 40 incredible people, many of whom in the eighth decade of their lives on this planet and upwards sing about their generation.
The purpose of this is to raise awareness on the issues older people face today, and help raise money for age concern charity.
As a generation Y representative, I feel we owe at least as much as listening to the people who raised our parents and us. The same people who fought wars in our name, struggled to put food on our tables, educated us in schools and universities, and cared enough to see us lead a happy life.
Unfortunately a lot of older people have been pushed to the margin of today’s society, but they do have a voice and now that they’ve raised it it’s time we pay attention.
Watch the video, wonderful, uplifting, funny, moving and might I add parental discretion advised!? And then please buy the single.
If you have your own blog, please help spread the word, or/and e-mail your friends about The Zimmers.
