I'm still trying to figure out how Bob Dylan's lasted this long.
I thought it was a set rule that, if you hit it big time in the music industry, you're not allowed to live over 70 years old.

Prince never lived in Minnesota, though.

EDIT: Bing dueted with Bowie when he was 74, iirc. "If you can sing with Bing, you can sing."

"Alive" is a relative term in music. Technically Keith Richards is still alive but I would imagine you'd have a tough time proving it.

Well, true, but I wasn't counting the known individuals who only continue living through satanic rituals involving the blood of three virgins. Like Cher, for example.

And Tony Bennett.

And both of our current presidential candidates, for that matter.
Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Bing.
*jazz hands*

If that post turns MY thread in another political shit fest then I feed you to my donkeys.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry, I forgot how riled up people can get over the whole Bing vs. Frank thing.

...although, just for the record, my vote's still with Sinatra.

Huh, I had not heard about that until today.

I thought YOU were the old one! You people are supposed to know this stuff, not me!

Huh!?!

What do you mean, "you people"?

It also gets light at an earlier hour in the morning. The day is no shorter for you than for anyone else. (And f you want that "lost" hour of daylight back, just get up an hour earlier!)

Technically that's not true, Winter and Summer days differ due to the Earth's tilt and orbit.

I'm astronomical.

Uh....fierce puppies?

While I am not astronomical, I thought that days were always the same length, once you adjust for the tiny bit that the earth's rotation slows over time as we gradually become tidally locked to the sun.

Hours of daylight, now, that surely changes. But day length I thought was pretty well fixed.
