Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Bigtime Pink Floyd fan hereand have been for about 30 years. I still listen to them, and have yet to get tired of the music.
That said, I don't admire Syd Barrett anywhere near as much as I admire David Gilmour- there's no doubt as to who's the better guitarist. But more than that- Gilmour has been a very large philanthropist in a very quiet way ever since they started really getting rich, and has proven to be generally a really decent human being. It wasn't until after Syd died that it came to light that Gilmour had been financially taking care of him for all those years. So he's the one exception I would make to putting a musician on a pedestal.
