How old are P.A. members?

I think it's just the way the local demographic turned out. (Sorry if I couldn't think of a funny answer.)

It seems arrogant to me

No-one is claiming it's funny but yes, I wholeheartedly agree that old farts taking the piss out of themselves is the apex of arrogance.and would therefore apologise unreservedly on behalf of everyone over the age of say, 'sparkle in the eye' for having bruised your unripe sensibilities.

I hope I die before I get told.  

I voted for 18-25 huhuhuhu.

I'm so old a paleobotanist keeps calling, asking to inspect my stomach for ancient seed and pollen samples.

Speaking as someone who hasn't had kids and now we can't, I think you are on to something there, Moshkito...

It takes an old married man to know one.

Talkin' 'bout my genitalia.

One more time!

I'm wondering why there are so many prog fans around my age (40-45). I'm 44 specifically. This is the largest age group(aside from the 18-25 which is technically cheating since it has two additional years added). Most people tend to get into music in their teen years and prog is suppose to have thought of as being dead in the eighties(when this age group would have been in their teens). My only explanation for that is that Yes, Genesis, Rush and Pink Floyd were all pretty big in that decade. I think the huge success of Genesis in particular is what pushes this age range above all others(even though Genesis were very poppy at that point).


As for the low numbers of those in their thirties(especially the 31-34 group) how I explain that is that they would have been in their teens in the 90's and relatively few people were discovering prog in that decade. There was lots of rediscovering going on but in my opinion not so much discovering for the first time.
