...but this is frickin' ridiculous.

From sex, drugs, rock and roll and underage girlfriends to...metal detectors. How the mighty are fallen.

1. imo, the only things that mellow with age
are wine and cheese. If you're a crabby person when you're 60, you'll be an even crabbier person each year after that! That site is pretty weird!

2. I agree. I am still a bit surprised, however, that...
...a hard-partying former member of the Rolling Stones has become so settled. Next, we'll find out he's a keen model railroader and collects bottle tops. Well, at least we know Mick 'n Keith will go to their graves kicking and screaming.

3. I thought you said mellow, not marshmallow
good gawd!...

If I ever get that pathetic, sell me as a clay pigeon for Cheney's target practice.

4. It's a warning to us all.
My wife has standing instructions to shoot me if I start wearing coats like that. I'm also finished if I wear socks with sandals or those yellow-tinted driving sunglasses or checked clothes of any kind. The dangers of incipient geezerism are everywhere.

6. That's a great song. Thanks for the link, Xipe.
And notice, not a single mention of metal detectors in the lyrics.

7. I've forgotten, but who was it that sang, "I'll be mellow when I'm dead?"
