Local heroes / Laughing stock SAXON, the barnsley/rotherham heavy metal band full of celebrity look alikes and pals of Elton John.
Are playing the City Hall soon. And there is an advert for it in the paper today. They all look extremely wizened and old.
Biff looks like he could be the next actor to play Gandalf the wizard, he has long grey hair and appears to be about 70. And some of the other lads look even older with amusingly shaped goatee beardage and bandanas covering their bald heads.
While it is cool to be ancient and play blues music, like Howlin' Wolf, will it ever be cool to be a pensioable Metal Band?
Although some of their song lyrics fit old biddies exactly, what with memories of steam trains, and presidential assasinations which happend 53 years ago when my pensioner dad was still at school.
