You would wait all week if some favourite band like the Bay City Rollers was due to appear on Top of the Pops. I have tried to explain to some young people that I know how important an event it was to see these stars actually performing on the screen, but I honestly don’t think that they get it. Why would they want to sit in the same room as their mum and dad to listen to and watch some popular band? The state of affairs now is so utterly different. If they want to see any singer performing, all they have to do is Google it and they can track down film of a performance in a matter of seconds. At risk of sounding like an old fogy, I think that they miss a lot like this. There is no pleasurable anticipation, no counting off the days until it’s time for the show. << less
