You're ooooollldd. No, seriously, I'm somewhat envious.

I KNOW I'm old - no secret there. That's why I was so surprised that Jim knew who this guy was.

However I prefer thinking that I have a good grounding in rock and roll history LOL. Tell someone how old YOU feel when you are 60. I think the operative phrase is - I'm still ME

You're only as old as the man you feel

As I get older I really think "age" is a fairly subjective thing.

I work with a guy who is always saying he is tired wants to go home etc... and he's in his early 50s. He's convinced himself that he's old so he acts and feels it.

On the other hand my neighbour out here was 65 (retirement age in the UK) and although physically he looked 65, he acted like he was 20 (but in a good way) he never played the old man card, he'd go to the gym, he played practical jokes etc... and even now he's officially retired, he's gone home to start rebuilding tractors in his shed part as a hobby part as a business.

Made me totally rethink how I look at myself because I'd started convincing myself that I was getting older and couldn't do this or that or act like this or that anymore a while ago.

It's clearly time to take Jim out to the yard and beat a musical education into him




Those were the days.....

1000 words, please on the significance of this 1991 performance to the UK rock scene, and what we can learn from Sebastian Bach's subsequent descent into self-parody.

As you grow older, you grow younger in spirit don't you? My mom's 90 and she feels the same as when she was 25, mentally, physically it's another story...but she's cool. My brother's 62 and he's as fit as when he was 30.
People at work ask me when I'm gonna grow up and I tell them never....

My MOTHER still asks me that. But she's been all grown up for years and she is far more concerned with being a *lady* than she is with enjoying herself as a person.

I'm with you - I see no need to grow up. As Terri said to me once - I've BEEN grown up and it's over-rated LOL.

I always had an old head on young shoulders.

No kidding?

Well see - now I have a young head on old shoulders LOL.

Frankly I don't have an issue with age - I can't do anything about it anyway so I just sort of enjoy myself whatever the age is.
