I wanted to address this age difference thing after I recently watched a Netflix special on Woodstock.
In 1969 the concert had the 70ish crowd of today with the leading bands of their day performing. The whole weekend was a musical celebration of peace, love and understanding. In spite of the fact that nobody could have been prepared for what happened, it all went pretty well.
Jump ahead to 1999, when the 40ish crowd of today were there with their leading performers of the day. The whole weekend was a celebration of groping, rage and rape. In spite of the fact that there was a previous history of the event to learn from, it all ended up in a destructive riot.
I know that doesn't define us as Pats fans because of our ages now, but it sure shows an example of Bob Dylan's line... times they are a changin'
