POP Goes The World! / What the Fontaine?!

“What A Drag It Is Getting Old”

Fri, Feb 6, 2026

I turned 60 years old yesterday, and I gotta tell ya, I don’t feel it.

It’s been said that Gen X is the generation that became 30 at the age of 15, and is still 30 at 50.

I felt that at 50.

I still feel it today at 60.

Guess there’s only one thing to do……

go grab your board, and join me…….

I brought tunes!
