Well, let's see.

I was alive for the bicentennial of the USA, don't remember that but do remember rotary phones. The population of the world doubled between my birth and when I was age 42.

Not sure Lemmy skews older than "the rest of the internet" though, have you ever seen Facebook?

Maybe tomorrow I’ll want to settle down, until tomorrow I’ll just keep moving on.

I was born in the year Princess Elizabeth became Queen. Also, Evita died that year.

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.
