[QUOTE="Fringe Reception, post: 59137, member: 4739"]I have two perspectives on this topic. Having grown up with 1950's TV reruns, The Tonight Show with Jack Paar then Steve Allen and then Johnny, I was a cheerleader for George Burns desire to live to 100. Well, 99+ was still an accomplishment. Last summer we got to see Barry McGuire's live show "Trippen the 60s". Barry is best known from the band "The Lovin' Spoonful" and later, as the lead player in the Broadway musical "Hair". He and John York (from the Byrds) shared some of their experiences from the past. Absolutely fascinating+++. Both men are ALIVE and energetic and obviously have not slowed down. If I'm not mistaken, Barry is bouncing off of 80. On the other hand, Barbara Feldon, Barbara Eden and other 'hotties' from my younger days are in their 70s (even late 70s) now! Sorry, the fact is (in my opinion) men age better than women ... sigh ... As Mik Jagger sang: [I]"What a drag it is getting old"[/I] ... OR ... from Paul McCartney: ... [I]"Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four - [B]woo[/B]!"[/I] :gramps: Jim PS At about age 20 when I worked for Mutual Broadcasting, I got to sit in Larry King's chair! BFD. LOL![/QUOTE]
