No kidding.

Never focused on it until now, but she's only 9 months older than my mom.  Which I think makes her a little older than George Harrison, for example.

One of her big negatives was being part of the Starship group in the 1980's that put out really bad music.

The first member of rock's royalty to hit the big 7-0, I suppose.

Hard to imagine, but you're probably right.  She's older than Dylan or Lennon.  When she was at Woodstock she woulda been 29 & 10 months, wonder what she thought about all the 'don't trust anyone over 30' rhetoric there.

Raise your hand if you've always assumed Dylan was older than Lennon...but he wasn't.

In fact I suspect the next septuagenarian will be Ringo.
