I have a theory that vegetarianism drastically slows the ageing process. I had my hair cut recently by a woman who was one year my senior. We looked at *least* 10 years apart! And my best friend (we became veggie together when we were freshman in high school) looks really young, too.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Hi Rosanne I'm a metal fan now - and with respect to aging would refer to Dio, Judas Priest and Rob Halford, amongst others who still rock to perfection - and can still show a lot of younger bands how to do it. I agree with what you say about the Stones. I have my old vinyl of Beatles and Stones,. but haven't listened to them for almost thirty years! Jo > Wow. Conjures up wonderful image.
