My young clubbing days were in the early 90s, during the Stone Roses/Happy Mondays/Deee-Lite era when Ecstasy had just recently arrived in quantity on these shores and all things English seemed super cool. And beyond clubworld, as we know, is the realworld. Acknowledging the Old Guy means acknowledging your privileged, limited-time existence in clubworld. Time may be an illusion, but the Old Guy makes it look pretty freakin' solid. And isn't clubbing all about fun? And denying reality? And nothing is more real than age. You're suddenly confronted with the thought that one day you're going to be the Old Guy or Gal and that isn't going to be fun. He may not even notice you, but his presence is nonetheless alarming.
