The other day (specifically, on March 14th), I heard that one of the famous people born on March 14th was actor Michael Caine, and that he was…73. I figured that had to be wrong, so I looked it up, and, of course, it is absolutely correct. Along the way, I found birthdays and, more to the point, ages for a number of other people I still think of as being “young” – or, at least, not “old”. I figured “Why should I suffer alone?”, so here a few of the names and ages that made me feel like I was in need of a walker, a cotton bathrobe, and fuzzy slippers:
| Name | Age |
|---|---|
| Roger Daltry (lead singer for the Who) | 62 |
| Lou Reed | 62 |
| David Gilmour (Lead Guitar, Pink Floyd) | 60 |
| Billy Crystal | 59 |

And, finally, perhaps the worst one of all: Paul McCartney is 63 (and turning 64 on June 18th)!
