It occurred to me the other day that kids who cut their baby Rock teeth in the &#8217;70s might have had an unusually high proportion of favorite artists who were much older than they were \u2014 as compared to, say, those who were in their teens in the mid- to late-&#8217;60s. If you were a 17-year-old Stones fan in 1966, for example, Mick Jagger would have been just 6 years older than you. For me, being a 17-year-old Stones fan in 1981 made me 21 years younger than Sir Mick. By the time I got to college, and became a huge Jam fan, Paul Weller was 6 years older than me. Same for d boon. I suspect I turned this corner by the time I was 25 or so. But who would my artist contemporary have been? I&#8217;m having a hard time figuring this out. Nowadays, of course, they&#8217;re all much younger and stupider than me.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to your responses.<\/p>\n<p>HVB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, quick question: who was the first Rock artiste you remember liking who was your age or younger?
