Re: Ageism
I'm 67 but I'm still dreaming of being a Rolling Stone. I think the young people of today are (mostly) bloody awesome. I don't want to be one of them..been there done that. I'm not jealous of them - just proud of them. I still go crazy beating the steering wheel when I'm listening to good music in the car. When I hear those comfortable, boring and entitled "senior citizens" in affluent first world countries - Australia well and truly included - whine endlessly about everything when they have very little to complain about. Whinge about how everything was better in "their day" but don't give a damn about anybody except themselves..I feel like saying But it's not your day now. You've had your day. It's theirs now...But I don't I just wait for the noise to pass. I, for one am happy the age I am. I don't feel "Old" and I feel lucky that I have what I have and that I've had what I did have.I know I'm never going to be a Rolling Stone. But I'm not too old to have my own little "play and giggle" blues band. And that's enough.Re: Ageism
