One of the most egregious lies ever perpetrated on the cultural consciousness is that people get "too old" to do their thing well, even when they've been doing their thing QUITE well for decades.

This past Saturday, Mick and the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park and Paul McCartney at Glastonbury gave 'em a show, and showed they've still got it.

Their ages? Mick, 78, Paul, 80.

To quote a well-known opinion from an authority on the age matter, Satchel Paige, "Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter."

Hear, Hear!

This past Saturday

Have seen THE ROLLING STONES and PAUL McCARTNEY concerts, back in the day ... both were outdoor arena concerts ~ memorable!

My college crew & I used to camp out all night to get great tickets ~ back in the day.

Not even sure what the current hits are, nowadays ~ always going back to my retro favorites!

Concerts, road trips, adventures ... those were the days!

Yep, the “old” thing is relative.

I retired 10 years ago and after goofing off for a few, I spent the next 7 back at the university and just graduated last month with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts. 2 days later I went on a Study Abroad with my fellow students for 2 weeks in Italy and I wasn’t the one lagging in all the walking we did.

A year ago I bought a sport tour motorcycle, first bike in 37 years, and have logged over 14,000-miles on it, including a trip from Montana to Maine and back, all on back roads and camping out.

My next “project,” like Prato, is the guitar. I’ve played at it for over 50 years and, since I have 4 instruments, I should get better or get rid of them.

My goal is to prove that that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Not long ago I asked my wife what was her favorite concert that we have been to. She replied, Van Morrison. And he was getting on up there when we saw him in Atlanta.

So true. Check out those clips of the Stones or Paul McCartney. Then check out a couple of Biden.
