THE ZIMMERS -- MY GENERATION
Meet THE ZIMMERS, the oldest and greatest rock band in
the world, and their amazing cover of THE WHO's
MY GENERATION.
Lead singer ALF is 90 -- it's quite something when he sings
"I hope I die before I get old."
And he's not the oldest!
There are 99 and 100-year-olds in the band!
THE ZIMMERS will be featured in a BBC TV documentary aired in May 2007.
Documentary-maker TIM SAMUELS has been all over Britain recruiting isolated and lonely old people -- those who can't leave their flats or who are stuck in rubbish care homes.
The finale of the show is this group of lonely old people coming together to stick it back to the society that's cast them aside -- by forming a rock troupe and trying to storm into the pop charts.
Some massive names from the pop world have thrown their weight behind THE ZIMMERS. The song is produced by
MIKE HEDGES (U2, DIDO, THE CURE), the video shot by GEOFF WONFOR (BAND AID, BEATLES ANTHOLOGY), and it was recorded in the legendary BEATLES STUDIO 2 at ABBEY ROAD.
Look out for the single being released May 21st with proceeds going to a good cause.
[Nicely done. But hardly any synced lips. Was this edited by a
90 year old?]
