Sir Paul turns 64...

[DeltAlum]

"Hope I die before I get old," Roger Daltrey of "The Who" and many other rockers used to say – before finding out there might be some delights yet ahead.

Not so the Beatles. Each in his own way envisioned a peaceful faraway future – and none with as much public enthusiasm as Paul McCartney, who 39 years ago began singing "When I'm 64" on the landmark 1967 album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

"You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings go for a ride, Doing the garden, digging the weeds, Who could ask for more?" he sang, painting an idyllic view of a pleasant, settled-in life. "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four..."

So.

We made it through Mr. Orwell's 1984.

I don't remember a particular Space Oddesy in 2001.

Now, Sir Paul McCartney is 64 -- and we still have him.

What's next to look forward to?

I guess there's still The Year 2525, but I don't think any of us will hang around that long.

You forgot about us partying like it's 1999.
