One of the pillars of being old is detesting loud music. “Turn it down! It’s too loud!” Even though I’m old, antiquated and very close to being tossed onto the refuse pile, I have no such aversion to loud music. I like loud music, mainly because my ears are so bad that I can’t hear the music otherwise.
Regardless of the decibel level you prefer, the music you choose is a great way to either grow old or stay young. To stay young you must open your mind and allow yourself to be enriched by the point of view of new artists. If you close your mind, and only listen to music from “your era,” you become Old; in fact it’s the text book definition of Old. It’s also a good way to stunt your growth as a human being. If you music collection spans years and not decades, than you’re either a 13 year-old girl or you’re Old.
