U2 are in their early 50s. yeah they made it big while very young, their breakthrough was in the 80s. but the difference in age between Bono and Eddie Vedder (who just turned 50!) or Nirvana guys (so 90s bands) is less than difference in age between Christine and Lindsey. U2 and grunge guys are 20 years, a whole generation, younger...

so when last week we saw those One Direction backstage pics on instagram, it was 3 music generations that you had there all together backstage, in one photo - FM, Pearl Jam, and 1D.
Me too.I always forget the 90's decade which is 20 plus years now.I do enjoy Bono and his gang.I do like Pearl Jam,Maroon 5.Smashing Pumpkins.Dave Matthews Band and Hootie and the Blowfish which Darius Rucker is country now.

Also we have Tony Bennett with Lady Gaga out on the road.

I have a good feeling that FM will keep on trucking way in their 70's touring with or without new tunes.We are so lucky that Christine came back.
