Subject: Feels like an old band now... AARP Presents Foreigner on Tour
Written By: ChuckyG on 04/08/08 at 8:48 am
I honestly can't believe that Foreigner would appeal to the AARP membership, but I guess someone that works for the organization thinks so. AARP is indeed the main advertiser backing a 15 city tour by Foreigner this summer. Mick Jones is the only original member in the line up still, Lou Gramm having left the band five years ago. Mick is old enough to be in AARP, so maybe they're just drawing from their membership ranks to find bands to sponsor. There's plans for a new album as well.

Yeah, I remember laughing at that watching Jay Leno when he made point of that. I think it's all a part of AARP's campaign to draft the Boomer Generation even if those who grew up listening to Foreigner are what 1-15 years from AARP status?

Wow...I'm feeling old. They were like one of my first "alone" concerts (with my friends and not my parents) way back in 1985ish?
