Forget 64, Ringo Starr turned 70 years old today; Seventy!. Tell me this isn't true. It's something the media made up to get our minds off of the oil spill and the economy and everything else going on.
Now I realize that the Beatles, or at least a couple of them, were older than me back in the 60's, but not by all that much ... back then. Apparently they aged much faster than I did. I can't be more than 45. Wait - two of my kids are older than 45, how did they manage that?
It just isn't right. I just saw Bobby Rydell in a movie (Bye-Bye Birdie) Sunday and he wasn't any older than maybe 18-20. Of course the movie was made in 1960 but that's non-essential information and surely a typo.
And the invitation to my 50th high school reunion? Obviously someone's bad idea of a joke. 1960 was NOT 50 years ago, couldn't be, could it? Ohhhh, I really need that rocking chair.
