I'm watching it while laying face down on the floor because I sprained my back gardening.

Seriously.

That's what really hurts.

If you do a you tube search for Paul Aldrich, he's got other funny stuff there, some too political to post links here. I love the tone he gets on the middle aged guy song. He has a site www.paulaldrich.com but it looks like it's down now

Reminds me of this Jake Fullerton (Leon's nephew) tune:

You got a Harley tricked out like a '52 hawg,
got a space with your name down at Dunkin D.,
got a mini-microphone so you can talk to your honey
cruising down the highway like Marlon B.

Old Farts on Motorcycles,
old farts in singles bars,
old farts playing karaoke,
old farts playing electric guitars.

What's wrong with bowling and playing golf?
What's wrong with hitting the sack at ten?
What's wrong with acting like someone's grandpa?
What's wrong with acting like your folks did then?

Old Farts on Motorcycles,
old farts in pickup bars,
old farts playing young and restless,
old farts playing electric guitars.

You got your fresh tats, you got a fresh goatee,
you got a fresh little earring stuck up your nose.
I remember you when you were young and cautious:
wouldn’a been caught dead wearing none of those.

Old Farts on Motorcycles,
old farts in Hard Rock bars,
old farts playing second adolescence,
old farts playing electric guitars.

Old farts playing electric guitars,
old farts playing electric guitars,
old farts playing electric guitars,
old farts playing electric guitars!

I just turned 40, and I have some observations. First, I've been calling myself middle-aged for more than 5 years. If the average life expectancy is approaching 80, then 40 is the middle. So, the "middle years" should be in the decade before and after 40, correct?

There are some people who take exception to this. Mostly, it is people who are in their low 30s (and don't think they are approaching their middle years) and people in their late fifties or early sixties (who have magically stretched the far end definition of middle age).

I think 'middle aged' is between 35 and 50, does this sound right?

0-10 child
10-13 youth
13-19 teen
20-34 period that has no name, but you start working and paying taxes, etc.
35-50 middle aged
51-62 period that has no name
62-80 seniors
80+ you get to call it what you want, you've earned it.

--gh

P.S. Back to my 40 equals half of 80 note. Some people really don't like it when I say I am over the hill now. I guess the hill is not symmetrical?

I think of middle age as that period that begins just past your peak, but before your physical or mental decline has reached the point of seriously limiting your options.

I'm definitely middle-aged! At 49 (in a month) I can still do pretty much everything I could do when I was in my twenties or thirties, but about 40% of my hair has migrated to places other than the top of my head, and I need reading glasses to read the comics (they've been shrinking them for years, though!) and maps, and I quit wearing a beard when it turned white (I look waaaaay too much like Santa Claus!).

Some folks get old (or let themselves get old) earlier than other folks. I know folks in their 60s who are old, and others who are still vigorously middle-aged...

Cheers, Tim
