When I'm 64

It's was bad enough that I used to think the song "When I'm 64" was a funny little ditty about an old couple until I hit that mark earlier this year.

Now I find out that the Rolling Stones are celebrating their fiftieth anniversary as a band today!

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Charlie Watts are getting together 50 years to the day after the young R&B band played London's Marquee Club.

That's right, the Stones were at the Marquee, The Beatles were at the Cavern, and your faithful reporter was at Graham Park in what is now the Rouge River National Park, where I spent the summer on the outdoor dance floor, putting nickles in the jukebox and dancing to the Watusi, the Popeye, the Twist and just about any other dance that was out at the time.

It was also the summer I lost my innocence and got laid under a picnic table at the park, although the attempt was so clumsy that I don't know if it really counts, or not!
