    Mick is 80, Keith 79. What did you expect?

    The remaining members of The Who are 78 and 79. I wonder if they still sing "My Generation"?

    I would think the first jokes made about how old
    they are were closer to the start of their career than
    to the end. Whenever that will be.

    Mike Love's touring Beach Boys still sing "When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)".
    The song is basically a series of questions ("Will I love my wife
    the rest of my life?"). It must be interesting for Love (the lyrcist)
    to stand there every night now knowing all the answers. (The answer to
    that question was 'No', btw).


    I'm remembering Ben Bova's _Cyberbooks_,
    the satire about book publishing in America
    and worldwide, and I think non-appearing but
    occasionally mentioned awful and best-selling
    author "Sheldon Stoker", and a much later
    epilogue at the end where they are still publishing
    "Sheldon Stoker Beta" because there are /clones/
    of him by then.


    There was some 70s depressing story, something like "His Thousandth
    Season" about a TV show that had gone on that long with the same host
    in a society where people just kept kind of internally decaying
    rather than dieing.

    Yes, but they've dropped the line "I hope I die before I get old".
    Or so I read somewhere.

    I have the distinct memory that Arthur C. Clarke did so, too, but
    I don't remember in which book.

    Quite a number of years ago, a comedian (perhaps Dennis Miller on SNL
    news) quipped that they are changing it to "I hope I die before I get
    oldest."

    For me, the answer to that question is an undoubted "Yes".
    Dorothy and I both aged through 64 still married.

    Probably depends on how it is orchestrated. Back in the 1960s,
    there was the Baroque Beatles Book (album), for instance.

    These days, my local classical station (KDFC) includes ragtime,
    movie music, and video game sound tracks.

    Dorothy and I both aged through 64 still married.

    When my wife got to 64, I, of course, got her a bottle of wine.

    [Hal Heydt]
    While appropriate, neither of cared for alcohol. That, too, has
    it's odd aspects. When we were married, I was working for the
    second largest wine company in California. That did have one
    advantage, though. I got all the wine and champaign for the
    reception at employee discount rates. In spite of Randall Garrett
    being there, there was still wine left over.
