Go see this movie. Excluding "The War Room," this is by-far the best documentary I've ever seen. The movie follows a group of senior citizens (age 74-92) as they prepare for a European concert tour singing rock 'n roll songs from The Ramones, Sonic Youth, Coldplay, Talking Heads, Bob Dylan and James Brown.
One of the most haunting performances come from Fred Knittle. As he sings Coldplay's "Fix You" the oxygen pump can be heard in the background.
Maybe in 2055 I'll be singing the classics from Soulja Boy and The Jonas Brothers. And maybe not.

I love your blog. You find the neatest stuff to put on here. They ran a story about the old timers group that sings rock and roll last Sunday Morning. We got to hear them perform just a little bit. That is really good for those people to do that. Kinda hard on the ears sometimes :)
Thanks for posting that. I want to see that movie. I saw some of them on Ellen and they performed, "Hey Ya" (OutKast) and it was just precious.
