"Music doesn't just take you back; it shoves you back, hard." (Irish comedian/TV star/host on an Oasis concert)

Column in the Irish Examiner by Bernard O'Shea: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_O'Shea

Bernard O'Shea: Oasis wasn’t just a gig but a reminder of who I was and who I’ll always be
Oasis proved my knees are gone, my phone’s stuck, and Liam speaks fluent gibberish.

This is a fun read, and a perceptive one. I can't figure out how to quote only 4 paragraphs, so I hope you'll read all of it. These are the sections it's divided into:

1. We’re getting older, man, and I don’t like it
2. I’m not the only one addicted to my phone
3. Everyone knew all the words. I mean everyone
4. It was a nostalgic overload
5. No One Knows What Liam is Saying Between the Songs—and That’s Okay

A bit overdone. Can an Oasis gig spark a mid-life crisis?

Trivia: Bruce Springsteen was saying the same thing on stage at his Dublin concert in '85. He was 36 at the time.

Listening to Lovely Rita makes me feel like the years are washed away.
