    😀 I recall, lol. I put you in my bad books after that!

    I left early once, too. My daughter and her caregiver had already left and I felt lonely suddenly. It was Pemberton and the guys were just striking up Pink Floyd as I boarded the bus.

    I forgive you lol. 2 more chances!

    I'm not about to refer to myself as old.  Older... maybe.  Besides, you, the Pearl Jam community, have kept me young.  All I can say is, thanks for that!
    I feel the same way.  Music has kept me young in spirit, but I am older than all of the band members.  Not by much at all but still.  I feel old when I witness athletes careers start and end, then another decade of athletes careers start and end . . . etc. etc. etc.  (that makes 5 decades).  In my defense, I was a sports fan from a very young age.   =)

    When you realize Macaulay Culkin is 43 while Daniel Stern was 32 when Home Alone was released.

    And Mac looks a good 10 years younger than Stern did then too. 

    In general, older-ish people nowadays look WAAAAY younger than older-ish people did when we were kids. I think it is because we have lived easier lives.

    Full rupture of my achilles while playing a simple game with my kids.  Getting old sucks. 
    Ouch!

    And, it will probably take you longer to heal too at your age.

    Good luck with the rehab.

    I was just thinking the same thing.  It's so true and so frustrating.  Yesterday morning, our cat Annie did her often-morning thing of crawling next to me while I'm starting to wake up, wanting a bit of attention.  I reach over to pet her and my left ring finger caught her claw and sliced it open shallow a half inch.  Year ago, I would have said, "That's gonna take a couple of days to heal."  But now it's more like at least 5 days to a week.  Everything takes longer to heal these days!

    I hope your achilles heals asap and well, McG!

    this is more a function of the band being old; not me.

    being old is (mostly) not affecting their ability to play but it sure has affected their ability to write memorable songs.

    Yes. And if you're leaving at RVM, you're probably missing a whole set.

    I'm so old... I remember when there was enough housing that even drug addicts could find someone to rent to us!

    ...and let's face it. How many of us will risk a hole in the wall or a burn in the carpet to save a life?

    Now imagine you being 15 or however old you were when that came out and envisioning a holiday song that just came out in 1963.  

    Now you feel even older, right? YOU'RE WELCOME.

    I think about that stuff a lot. Random comparisons, like Forrest Gump is roughly as old now as To Kill a Mockingbird was when FG came out.
    Or the same analogy with ET and Wizard of Oz.
    Kids today look at a movie like ET and view it the same way I viewed Wizard of Oz. Seems crazy, and, as this thread suggests, makes me feel old.

    Totally. My brothers and I text each other examples of this stuff pretty much every day. Each example is mind blowing to me.
