Thinking of some individuals in particular? I can think of some but was wondering who you're thinking of?

Think the latest I heard of was Glen Tipton, guitar player for Judas Priest having Parkinson's disease.

Also Eddie Van Halen dying in 2020, but that is something everyone has heard. RIP Eddie.

The most recent I've heard about is Stephen Pearcy, founder and lead singer of Ratt. He has liver cancer.

Hadn't heard that. Bummer! I liked Ratt.

Their first big song for me - Round and Round.

Music video with guest Milton Berle (he was related to their producer, or something like that):

You are really, really old when you were out of college and married well before Iron Maiden began in '75. To me, oldies are songs from the '50s.

Like Brian Johnson of AC/DC. He wasn't quite deaf but he had to stop touring for a while because of his hearing.

You know your old when when you are putting in your birth date on a website and you have to scroll down, and down, and down, and down to get to your year.

I'm in my 9th decade.

Here I am with my older brother and sister in 1952 standing on the lawn.

Seriously? Should be a record here.

Must be all that good living. Keep it up.

I don't know. Your yearbook could be falling apart because you are still obsessed with one of your classmates and you regularly flip through your yearbook to check her out yet one more time!

I was born in late 1949, so I'd been in two decades when I was just a few months old.

You are right though about the good living. Who knows what tomorrow brings, but each day I try to enjoy life as best I can. I don't get my panties in a twist about every little thing. For me, life is too short for that. I'm an avid hiker so I'm in really good shape for an old guy. Twice a week, we hike 5 to 8 miles with an elevation gain of 1,500 feet. Occasionally, it's double that. I'm probably more fit today than at any time since high school.

Good to hear. I was born in 1955 and am currently 66 years old. 60s are the new 40s, lol. I don't sweat the little things either. Life is to enjoy.

I walk 3 miles, 5 nights a week and exercise 3 times a week. I've always been in pretty good shape. Feel like I could make it well in to my 80s.

Anything can happen, though. You just never know.

I'm in a hiking group and one of the guys just turned 81. You would think he is 65. He is always in front. It's inspiring to be honest . Getting up off the couch is a good thing.
