SPARKS

It would be interesting to know how old are Sparks fans and what's the "age structure" of the forum. :)

P.S. I'm terribly sorry, guys & girls, but the last point of my poll which was "over 50" had somehow dropped out while posting. :( So that doesn't mean I think people do not live over 50!!! ;)

Being a fan of any band is not limited to the age of 50 by any means. We are not dead just because we have reached that milestone. Oops, did I just say that?!

A girl never reveals her age. I always say you are as old as you feel!

Gee, don't be offended, folks. :) It's just for statistics... and of curiosity. Some forums that I visit have such polls, and I think it's interesting to know. And of course I've no prejudice against any age... I just didn't want to make the number of point too big. ;)

Absolutely no offence taken Songbird. I am actually in the 6th category but act as though I belong to the third :-))

Dear me, rwolf'68, you're right!! The last point of the poll which was "over 50" had somehow dropped out & I didn't notice at once! Can I add it now??

It may apply to a faceless, nameless "few" at least on this forum if I'm not mistaken, since the band has been in the business for a "few" years!

Looks like most of us are in that agre group that was in High School when Kimono came out -- I first saw Sparks on Don Kirshner's Rock Concerts, which was, in those pre-MTV days, pretty much the only way to see rock music on televison.

May I take a wild guess and narrow down the poll further and suggest that the majority of visitors to these forums are now or will be turning 44 this year? (Judging by the response to how, when and where people first discovered Sparks.........sorry TTABEFTBOU was not the first single I bought, Metal Guru - T Rex was!)

You are as old as you feel, so they say!! I don't say that on a Sunday morning after a Saturday night out though!!

I`ve just turned 37, so got hooked a little earlier than most....must have recognised quality when I heard it even as a child :-)

Hey.... how come there's no choice for OVER 50??
There's a few crickety ol'cooters around here ya know!
Well.......... at least one anyway.

In olden days, when I was young, it seemed that all the other Sparks fans one could identify from afar (badges/t-shirts/carrying records etc) were all a fair bit older than I was. I am surprised that the over 50 category is not the biggest.

I'm sorry folks. I've explained about the "over 50" category in my first post of the topic. There's nothing I can do now.
