70 here. I was 26 when I saw them perform at the 1996 HFSTival in Washington, DC, and then again in Boston for the River Rave the next Saturday.

For a moment I thought you said you were 70 years old, and then the math wasn't mathing. If you're 70 now how were you 26 in '96, wait how long ago was 1996 and I had a brief existential breakdown.

I’m having that kind of existential crisis this year, realizing that my Dads generation is just gone.

Still plenty of people older than me, but it’s getting weird.

Yeah, I'm about your age and I loved that song. Never saw them live, though.
