I scored in my early thirties - Tuco probably will score in the twenties and Dookey is probably -20 or so.
It being Coachella I'd guess a lot of those bands are electronic acts that none of us need to know about or ever listen to - not saying they all suck tho. "AI will take their jobs" kinda performers. So of course many won't know who the hell is who in that line up if it's a festival that leans to empty electronic music.
First skateboard about 1967. I'm as old as the woman I feel. Groucho knew!
My first album purchase was Steppenwolf Live. First concert was Steppenwolf with opening acts Beautiful Day & John Mayall as a 6th grade graduation present at the LA Forum. If I only knew then what I now know. :rolleyes2
How about we call it 68? You do me and I owe you oneQuote:

Try to keep up ...grasshopper. Actually making real turns is mandatory. :fmicon:
76 which means free skiing at Red and WH20. Age has to be good for something

They’re giving each other shit about being old.
So I ask.
The young punk was late sixties.
The other three were late seventies.
And they were ripping.
Let’s go old farts.
You only get "old" when you stop sliding downhill on snow
Good for you!Quote:

Old is when you can ski better than you can walk.
I like to think so.:DQuote:

67 going on 19
First album? Zubin Mehta and LA Phil-Holst the planets.
2nd? Hot Rats by Zappa.
Not as far apart as you might imagine.
I have averaged 80 ski days/year since the mid 70s and now I am in my mid 70s. These days, lots of those "days" are actually half days and this former advanced skier now skis like a strong intermediate with elastic compression type knee braces on both knees....just happy to be out there, spending the winter in an Winnebago EKKO winter capable motorhome on a friend's property 18kms from Sun Peaks Resort.
This thread’s making me feel better about being chronologically achieved.
Same age as Snowbird...
I was 14 when I skied it opening year.
First 45, Hey Jude.
Album, Aqualung.
77 and waiting for the next storm ...
CK
96 is my guess
55.82 years old
76 gets me a super deal on Loveland season pass and free skiing at Snowy Range although the latter is a bit of a drive. Knees still holding out for telemarking.
