Weirdly, this one didn't hit me too hard. Finding out that Kevin Bacon was hitting 50 this year, now that made me feel old.

Fuck off, whippersnapper! I was young once, and you'll be old someday (if you're lucky).

I thought she already was fifty.

The same terrible fate befalls me, your beloved Fnarf, in just a couple of weeks.

Don't worry, Fnarfness. Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth turned 55 (!) this year, and she's still as cool cool cool as ever.

Madonna, meanwhile, was already a pathetic old cow in 1985 at age 27, and therefore really, no really--no, I mean really--needs to STFU ASAP, IMHO.

She looks fabulous for fifty.

She looks fabulous for forty, frankly.

And she's still got it. Have you heard her new song, "Miles Away"? I am really looking forward to the tour.

Her new song is not called "Miles Away."

It is called "Give it 2 Me."

Remember when it was okay to have a little belly fat and thin lips? This video brought it all back...oh to be 11 again and getting lace shirts and rubber bracelets for Christmas from indulgent relatives.

Oh that we all look as hot at 50! =)

You know... 50 is nothing.

Do you know who's at the top of the dance charts right now? In fact, she just knocked Madonna (and Give It 2 Me) of the top spot.

Give up?

It's Yoko Ono. She's seventy-fucking-five years old.

Madge is going to have to keep bringing it for another 25 years if she wants to break that record. Yoko is the oldest ever at the top of the dance charts.

There is an Arabic word which is pronounced almost identically to the word 'Madonna'. It means "something which is no longer fresh".

youth cult is so passe

That's what old people say to feel better about themselves instead of admitting they are jealous.

Also, I loved Lucky Star. I still sing along in the car when it comes on the radio (and I look like such a queer). But I could take or leave Madonna otherwise.

My theory is that in the next 5 years they should be releasing the anti-aging drugs.

So, the savvy bachelor should go around visiting nursing homes, and like ask to see the ladies yearbook.

Then, marry someone who looked good in like 1934, dope her up with the pills, and voila!

Mike in MO - with the jerking knees

I am younger than you - I just do not get all the age crap - if you love life and people - and lots of different textures - well then - youth age cult is stupid, sterile, uni vision and big time rube

too, it helps to understand how good some older guys are in bed - oh, my God - I told the secret

I once picked up a book of photos taken when Madonna was 20 and achingly beautiful -- vulnerable and a lot more virginal looking than in the video.

Did that video remind anyone else of that old "Beauty and the Beast" TV show?

She looks like she has NO ARMS in the video!

(The Give It 3 Me Video, not the Like a Virgin video.)

@ Freddy (if anyone is still reading this thread): I'm joking for gosh's sake! I'm dating a guy in his fiftys and, yes, he is wonderful in bed.

But it is nice to be (relatively) young and hot ;-)
