Your method of persuasion is equal parts crushingly depressing and emphatically compelling. Either way, it's effective!

Never too late. Do your thing.
I'm 58, play guitar in an 80's hardcore punk band and bass in a rock band.

But I just got back from one helluva kick-ass King’s X show last night.
One result? Against all logical sense, I’ve decided to start another band. It’s been five years since my last project, and that was just playing covers in local bars. It was fun, but I really miss doing original music.
But how old is too old? I’m going on 48, I live in a town with scarce venues and no local scene to speak of, much less for original music, and as of now I’ve got no place to rehearse even if I find some other geezers who also want to play some rock and/or roll that’s heavily influenced by the ‘70s and ‘80s — and that’s not exactly a high-demand niche, either.
Like I said, I’ve got no logical business even thinking about it, but I may need to do it just to stay sane.
So, what’re the chances y’all will be there for me when this crashes and burns? Lol!
