I hope I die before I get old

Now there's a reframe worth repeating.






- Meet The Zimmers the oldest and greatest rock band in the world and their amazing cover of The Who's "My Generation".

Lead singer Alf is 90 - it's quite something when he sings "I hope I die before I get old". And he's not the oldest - there are 99 and 100-year-olds in the band!
The Zimmers will feature in a BBC TV documentary being aired in May 2007.

Documentary-maker Tim Samuels has been all over Britain recruiting isolated and lonely old people - those who can't leave their flats or who are stuck in rubbish care homes.

The finale of the show is this group of lonely old people coming together to stick it back to the society that's cast them aside - by forming a rock troupe and trying to storm into the pop charts.

Some massive names from the pop world have thrown their weight behind The Zimmers... The song is produced by Mike Hedges (U2, Dido, Cure), the video shot by Geoff Wonfor (Band Aid, Beatles Anthology), and it was recorded in the legendary Beatles studio 2 at Abbey Road.

Look out for the single being released from May 21 - with proceeds going to a good cause.

Context is King

Sometimes it isn't what's going on that is the issue as much as the situation that it's going on within that frames things.

In NLP we talk about framing and reframing. Content and context reframes - sometimes you don't have to figure out what someone's behaviour means or does, but look at it through the refraction of the context.

Wellthen - take 10 minutes to read the following story (and click on the short videos as they appear).

Really take one full third of a sitcom (or 3 solid cigarettes) and pay attention to the frame within which an incredible musician was asked to play and think...really think about every negative feeling you've ever had about yourself....and think about whether it really matters at all...

Context is king, but is it correct?

Truly - take the time you'd probably wait for a Starbucks coffee at a busy shop...a Costco run on Saturday...maybe a Loblaws visit on Easter Monday (are you getting it yet???)
