Rick Astley's thoughts on Rickrolling...

Get Rickroll'd in person!

Did anyone else find it a bit odd how he kept referring to himself as an "old" guy? He's 42. I guess he hit it so huge at a very young age (20?). But it sort of sounds like a guy who just got really fed up with the industry and his excuse now is "I'm too old." 42?! Madonna's 50 and she's still smokin' in her career.

I'm not falling for that, I'll take your word for it.

There's nothing to fall for. :shocked:

Sounds like he's really grounded. Moved on to better things. 42 is not old but playing music for a living... yeah, it is. Rick and his Roll are cool with me.
I'd have a beer with the guy anytime.

Long live Rick'n'Roll. lol.

That's awesome. I actually found the live interview they took those sound clips from:

Depends on the kind of music. I'm sure he could have a Sting-type adult contemporary career.

Yeah, I think I'd say it's "old" if you want to be downloaded by every 16 year old girl in America. But 42 wasn't old for Mozart. Wasn't old for Elton John or the Stones either.

(Mozart died at 35. )

In any case, yes. Astley has a good voice. With the right music, he could do OK.
