Imagine sitting in a room with 30 other people and an average age of 75.
Imagine you and your peers recently toured Europe, singing covers of rock songs to sold-out audiences.
Now you're back in the rehearsal studio and you're listening to a song that your great-granddaughter may adore but to you is a mishmash of noise. You can't decipher the words, let alone the staccato of the drum beat.
Your leader asks you to try to listen to it because later on he will ask you to sing it. You're not a quitter, having survived numerous heart bypass surgeries, and moreover the leader has faith in you, so you adjust your hearing aid and persevere.
When you ultimately perform the song on a stage in a sold-out amphitheater, everyone applauds.
You did it! *** When was the last time you clapped and chuckled at a group of octogenarians singing covers to Sonic Youth, David Bowie, the Ramones, and James Brown? If you were like me, then see this film!
