And it certainly applies to musicians. the line was something like
"yes he's an older candidate for the job, but he has already made the mistakes in life and on the job that the young candidate has not made yet, and HE has already learned from his mistakes and will not repeat them ".
Now obviously this doesn't mean that its all a perfect world, but the odds may be in the older guys favor !

I've made enough mistakes in my life, I should NEVER make another one. Somehow they keep coming. Dang those mistakes!
Good line, Tony

So you're sitting there on stage between tunes and get to thinking about that great movie line and how glad you are to be getting a little long in the tooth and more experienced ...and then Murphy's Law says you'll kick off the next tune in the wrong key!  |

Great line. Do you remember the name of the moview and the background information concerning why it was said, who said it and who that person was talking about?

I’ve used Reagan’s classic debate comeback to Mondale with several sales managers in the last few years,
"I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."

it was called The Family Man, the main character was an evil "corporate recruiter" who turned good at the end.

I actually did that at a stage show with a packed house a few years back, I realized it and did an immediate side up "GLISS" the band thought I did it on purpose and loved it ! What the heck do they know !
