Nick Lowe, At Any Age

Friday, July 20, 2007

Nick Lowe began his music career in the mid-1960s, and his musical style has been evolving ever since. He recently told the New York Daily News: "I didn't want to become one of those thinning-haired, jowly old geezers who still does the same shtick they did when they were young, slim and beautiful...That's revolting and rather tragic." Lowe's new album is "At My Age."

    Re: I trained her to love me: Perhaps it's about a dog. We think we own our pets but they actually own us.

    I hope that song was about a dog, and not a woman!

    LIFE IS A LEASH

    Man's best friend

    Is easily trained;

    Not so a woman,

    I've ascertained.

    She has demands,

    Her own agenda:

    Down with phallus,

    Up with pudenda!

    The battle ends

    And women sizzle

    In middle age

    As men start to fizzle.

    And hopefully those of us in the middle of this natural process can have a sense of humor about ourselves and each other. Love the lyric!!
