Between the ice skating and the swimming, you probably get way more exercise than all of us desk jockeys!

My daughter tells me she was standing in line today for tickets
to the Jimmy Fallon + Obama show at UNC this coming Tuesday,
and the kids around her were talking to their parents complaining
about all the "old people" standing in line.

Is 44 is the new 74 ?

Coming from traditional-age college students, my guess is 24 is the new 74.

When you're in high school, 35+ is old, but 25 is beyond your scope of reference so you dont know what to make of them. when you're in college, 30 is old, but 25-30 is almost your own age. As soon as you graduate it jumps to like, 40 is old, but that raises two or three years for every year you live, a lot faster than you age, until "old" is always about five years older than you are.

When your kids start graduating ... from college!
Well hat and when you need to take off your glasses to read.
And your arms aren't long enough.

35 is the oldest age you can be to play original music. Past that age you can only play songs written by other people.

Ibby · 04-23-2012, 06:17 AM

I heard someone describe Styx or someone like that the other day as a "self-cover band" - so far gone that even their original songs are cover songs when they play them now.

Undertoad · 04-23-2012, 06:27 AM

I'm sure Styx could do a Foreigner or Journey or REO fuckin' Speed wagon song in their set and nobody would notice.
