Age Is Just a Number…..

And that explains why older people don’t like math! 
Anyway, right now I’m pausing the flowery things in life (roses will be coming up soon) to celebrate a big birthday.
It’s the retirement birthday.
I’ve received my notices from Social Security and the postal service that I’m all set up to start getting my retirement pay. It’s everyone’s dream: to retire young enough to enjoy it! 
So, in celebration, I present a countdown of songs that have an age in the title. No, not just numbers (55 is an age, but “I Can’t Drive 55” doesn’t count….sorry, JJ), but golden ages.
Since I was never sexy and 17, don’t look for the Stray Cats. 
But NJ Chic will be pleased later in the countdown. (And repulsed….gotta take the bad with the good. )
Let’s take a look at the songs that celebrate a particular age!
Remember this song? Remember being this age????

Congrats on getting old.... er. 
Age may be just a number but 10 is a LOT older than 5...

Age is also mind over matter: if you don’t mind, it don’t matter.
And I don’t mind!

@FourWalls I've never seen a problem with being somewhat older... but I've got enough health problems now that it's not funny anymore.

@DaddyEvil — yeah, that’s the problem: you get to 50 and have 50 health problems, one a year.

Just the same old what I’ve been doing: traveling and playing miniature golf in the summer.

Thank you! 
As sick as I was as a baby it really is worth celebrating. Or, as the Rare Earth song said, I just want to celebrate another day of living!

I remember a few songs from Alice Cooper like "No More Mister Nice Guy." and "School's Out." but not this song which is great.

This is one of those “anthems” about turning 18 that made every 18-year-old delighted back in the 70s.

Thanks, my friend. Road trip is coming after a doctor’s appointment in a week or two.

I know what you mean. Thankfully, I have enough photos to help jog my memory.

Congratulations on your retirement. I love being retired and rarely pay attention to my age except in the morning when everything aches, during the day when I can't remember anything and at night when I get up to use the bathroom 100 times

Thank you. And I know what you mean: I wish we could be retired from 18 to 65 then work.
