Gee, i guess saying that Macca is as old 60 as Lyndon Johnson was when he left the Presidency (true statement) and then saying that it's amazing that he still rocks and that he gets better with age is being pretty cynical?? [;)] ??? That's not cynical - i think that's pretty great...!! But, whatever ! [:o)] It seems the truth to me
[;)] Point is these old rock n rollers are now older than many of our political icons and they still can kick butt. If that causes hang-ups, it's merely reality as Lennon would say.
McCartney is as old as FDR was when the Japanese invaded pearl harbor and that to me is amazing. Amazing how generation gaps between political figures and rock stars has lessened. It wasn't until Clinton and Blair that people Macca's own age and younger started ruining the countries (now, it's debatable whether or not it's a good thing considering both their spotty records). They are taking bets in London that "When i'm 64" will be released as a single (true it was in the paper) and will be number one sometimes in 2006!
Just remember - there's a fine line between saracasm, reality, humour, preaching, and offending..[;)]
Whatever - it's your ball and your forum, dude!
