Happy birthday, and may you enjoy many more.
Paul McCartney wrote "When I'm 64" when he was sixteen. Sixty-four must have seemed an impossibly long way off. Today, with more people staying active, healthy and robust into their 70s and beyond, the song's description of life at 64 sounds more like 84! Or 94 . . . or 104.
These days, Roger Daltrey is singing, “Hope I die before I get really, REALLY old!”Hard to believe when listening to that song when we were young, or the Who or anyone else who had something to say about aging that they and we would someday arrive there!
