      It gets better with time for the most part.
      There are times when the sorrow is just as bad, but they're way less frequent & the duration isn't as bad.

      How could I know that he listened to metal in the past? No offense, but he was already middle aged 35 years ago.
      It’s more likely he was young when Ted Nugent and Aerosmith started.
      I’m 47. Maiden was in their prime when I was a kid. Most metal fans (in it’s heyday) were probably between the ages of 13 to 30. Maybe Stuart was the exception and loved some metal… although it was still just barely outside of the “classic rock” era.

    I keep forgetting how old us metal heads are getting. This is a bitter sweet reminder that the music stays young but we get older. As Rob Halford said in Priest's RnR hof speech, "We call ourselves a heavy-metal community that is all-inclusive, no matter what your sexual identity, how you look, the color of your skin, what you believe or don't believe it. Everyone is welcome."

      They said the same thing about music when this was written.
      You may not know this but music is almost always targeted towards younger people and we are irrelevant. So no, it doesn't have meaning to you but it does everyone else. Your music has no meaning to them.
