Free Range by Bill Whitehead for June 12, 2021

Somebody pulled lots of “strings” getting him admitted.

Rock on.

Hey if the Stones can still be rocking. Why not me as well.

Clapwell? Moniker from your sexploits?

Yes, sir Rock and Roll can never die – but I’m not quite sure ’bout Mr. Clapwell

They looked like Bentwood Rockers to me.

Mr. Clapwell: “So do you want me to go back inside and play?”

Mr. Clapwell must still be quite spry — and really f#€%ing strong! — to move a speaker stack like that out there!!

She meant Clapton.

♫♪ I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day ♪♫

Aw, let him has some fun, will ya.

All the groupies are putting in their teeth.

But the porch is the only place where he can see for miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, oh yeeaaahhh… (only The Who fans will get this)

but going back and forth on a rocking chair is so boring.

♩hope i die before i get old is a fan favorite there…

can he play “You Shook Me All Night Long”????

I gave it a like because of the name of the place. ;-)

Hey, he’s in the free world, no?

Hmm. Play off of Clapton buts that’s a Pete Townsend windmill if I ever saw one!

“My My Generation”

Now that she’s gotten to know Mr. Clapwell, she won’t be fooled again (Who reference).

To stand in front of that speaker with his hearing aids turned up to 11, Clapwell had to be off his rocker.

Nice name for a retirement home, and look at all that lawn you can chase kids off of.

They are using matches instead of lighters.

Go ahead and crank up the volume – they can’t hear you, anyway.

You see more and more of that with Baby Boomers retiring.

Rock on, Clapwell!

He’s got the right idea! And in another 10 minutes the ladies on the porch will be all over him — figure it’ll take that long for them to get off their rockers (yeah, I wrote that on purpose) and make their way over to where he is.

Pete Townshend? Funny how he decided not to die before he got old….

I’m guessing senior centers are starting to fill up with aging fans of Led Zep, The Rolling Stones, etc. Who knows, senior living facilities might become gigs for young bands willing to play covers.
