Elderly Rockers Cover The Who, Enter British Top 30

Via Breitbart: *The Zimmers, a group of 40 elderly rockers with a combined age of more than 3,000 years, entered the British singles chart top 30 on Sunday.

Their charity cover of The Who's rock anthem "My Generation", with lead vocals by 90-year-old Alf Carretta, hit number 26 in the chart. The oldest band member is 100-year-old Buster Martin, who still works as a plumber in London and is believed to be the oldest employee in Britain.

Named after Zimmer frames -- a British term for walking frames -- the 40-strong group was formed as part of a BBC television documentary about the isolation felt among Britain's elderly folk. Their video has been viewed more than 2.3 million times on the Internet video-sharing site YouTube.


The Zimmers also include Peter Oakley, better known as geriatric1927, whose video musings on life once made him the YouTube poster with the most subscribers. His video "first try" was watched nearly 2.6 million times and he is still the 10th most subscribed user ever.*
