I really like old people, especially old women driving old pick up trucks. However, today as I was thinking about how it normally strikes me humorous, I was overwhelmed with sad scenarios. What if this sweet woman is driving this truck because she had to sell her burgundy or cream buick to pay for funeral expenses for her sweet old man husband, who just so happened to own said truck? Not funny.
This is from a documentary shown on Channel 4 in the UK called 'Young@Heart'; the name of the New England octogenarian chorus line. The performer here is Fred Knittle, who suffers from congestive heart failure. This song was intended to be a duet between Fred and another chorus member, Bob Salvini. Sadly, Bob died of a heart attack and it was left to Fred to carry the song on his own. If I'm correct, the people you see crying at 01:13 are Bob's family. The lady you occasionally see mouthing the lyrics in the audience is Fred's wife.
