"The latest YouTube phenomenon making the rounds features a clutch of British seniors doing a spirited cover version of the Who’s My Generation. It may look like just another shared-video novelty, but the Zimmers' performance of a classic youth anthem has a poignant and defiant message. It’s part of a BBC television documentary aimed at challenging misconceptions about aging."Normally I wouldn't tout a YouTube clip but it's really a BBC clip, I love the message, and dude, the thing fucking rocks.
Plus, if you can stand, like, reading and stuff, the article is a good read touching on robust and defiant elders, their mistreatment, and the documentary that led to this recording at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.
The link to the video can be found in the linked CBC article.
