Old Rage

Getting older doesn’t mean slowing down, giving in, or keeping quiet. For the next two hours, we’ll play songs that capture the frustrations and reflections of those in their later years – and those who see them coming and have something to say about it.

A lifetime of stories with the joys, the battles, the nostalgia, and the protests against being ignored.

So settle in, turn up the volume, and join me as we play a few tunes by those who should know better.

This is “Old Rage.” And it’s just getting started.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
