How old is too old?

Guess it all comes down to how you feel. This guy is obviously young at heart and never feels too old to rock as is made clear in this video https://youtu.be/cgY8a5Q0AFE :)

It's all 'what's between the ears'. Look at Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Ian Anderson, Todd Rundgren, Ian Hunter, Alice Cooper - all getting 'up there' and still rocking.

Seems I'm too old, as well--at least relative to others. No one ever guesses my age within ~20 years...until we talk for a bit and discover the frame of reference is completely different. I was hangin' w/ some neighbors--all in their 30s--on Saturday and didn't recognize any of the tunes they had on their i-phones (which I don't even have). In turn, they had never heard of Jeff Beck, Steely Dan, Rundgren, Dave Brubeck (altho they had heard of jazz--from grandpa)...the only name they recognized was Hendrix. So the playlist was all about bitches n' ho's, life in da 'hood, livin' the gangsta life and whatever boy bands go on about.

I went in to check out the b-ball game. Never saw a team drop so many 3-pointers. And given my advanced chronology, I've seen lots of March Madness.

Too old is a nice way saying 'dead.'

Yea, but what makes them "too old" is no one wants to hear their NEW records.
