Sound of rock'n'roll ageing is music to the ears

Opinion


On June 18, Paul McCartney will turn 70. ''There's a little cell in my brain that's never going to believe that,'' he says in Rolling Stone magazine, though there are signs of the burdens of old age starting to arrive. He has quit smoking what some call jazz tobacco, apparently because of his eight-year-old daughter. ''Your sense of responsibility does kick in, if you're lucky, at some point,'' he reckons.

The avowedly clean-living Ringo Starr will soon be 72. Bob Dylan is 71. John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, has just celebrated his 56th birthday - which makes him old enough (just) to be George Osborne's dad. Even the Britpop generation is greying fast: when Blur performed at the Brit Awards, the drums were played by Dave Rowntree - who, at 47, is two years older than Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron.

All of which proves two things: that rock music and the culture it spawned are getting on a bit and that anyone who can call themselves young will want nothing to do with either. I remain a firm believer that the electric guitar is the embodiment of excitement and the four-piece band as close to the Platonic ideal of the gang as anyone has ever managed. But these illusions are now largely confined to those of us over 40.

If you want an idea of where pop music has arrived, go to Ed Sheeran (21). The extent to which he draws on hip-hop points up the quarter-century reign of rap culture. If there are guitars around, they tend to be acoustic.

Solo artists are the modern norm: the last young British band with the power to shape the culture were Arctic Monkeys, seven years ago.

''Rock is dead - deo gratias,'' wrote one Guardian online reader last week. But in fact the music is alive, and packing people in - it's just that it's finally settled in on the wrong (no, the right side) of the generation gap.

According to the latest figures the biggest selling music magazine in Britain is now Mojo, whose last cover star was 77-year-old Leonard Cohen. I read it and write for it: it speaks as powerfully to me as the NME did when I was 22.

As all this happens themes of age and experience are finally entering the music. Grinderman, the project led by Nick Cave (54), was created as an outlet for the angst of advancing years, as evidenced by No Pussy Blues: ''I changed the sheets on my bed / I combed the hairs across my head / I sucked in my gut / And still she said / That she just didn't want to.'' The new single by Paul Weller (53) is called That Dangerous Age, and opens thus: ''When he wakes up in the morning / It takes him time to adjust''.

Less cartoonishly, when I watched Sinead O'Connor (45) perform a new single called The Wolf is Getting Married on Graham Norton's show, I wasn't looking for the perspective of a twentysomething: she was singing about craving security, and there was something in it that was worldly and overwhelmingly mature. From PJ Harvey to a Dylan who wheezes and croaks his insights, this is what the best rock music is now - stuff by and for the ageing and old.

There is only one problem: the tendency of rock'n'rollers to try to approximate their younger selves, lately made much worse by reunions. On the live stage this is what McCartney does. As an expression of the 50-plus condition, sappy collections of pre-rock standards like Kisses on the Bottom won't do: I'd like him to tell me what it's like entering your 70s. He has form on this score, as evidenced by a song from 2001, From a Lover to a Friend, which evokes the loss of his first wife Linda: a real wonder, full of intimations of mortality.

In Rolling Stone, McCartney is asked about younger musicians. ''You get the argument 'make way for the young kids','' he says. ''And you think: 'F--- that, let them make way for themselves.'''

By way of indicating who he thinks ''the young kids'' are, he mentions the Foo Fighters, who have an average age of 43.6.

Last week, the genuine article was lurking on Twitter, where people responded to his performance at the Grammys. ''Wait, who is Paul McCartney?'' asked one tweeter, though the reply was even better: ''To be honest, I have no idea.''
