Physically and emotionally - somewhere around 30.

[/quote]This milestone will happen early next year for me. It's only a big deal for women, right? I'm actually looking forward to it so I can play in the over-40 basketball league.

<br>34, still feeling like the teenager I was back in the eighties. Doing exactly what I always wanted to do. Graphic design for a living, playing music all the while [;)]

I have to say though, that my musical tastes have broadened a GREAT deal since then. New Wave is still my life defining genre but I have come to learn to appreciate many other genres of music as well. Back then I would have laughed in your face (if not be thoroughly insulted) if you told me I'd have the likes of Chet Baker, Hank Williams, Barry White or Shirley Bassey in my collection. But open mindedness is a way of life for me and if I want people to be open to my music then I have to be to theirs. And you know what? It's fun to listen to new music.[8D]

Ditto to age and sentiments (except I'm on the data side of computing). Let's start a band [:D]
The fact that more than 10 percent of NWO'ers is under 30 is fantastic.[/quote]

Hey, I'm down with that, man! We'll do it all over the net. Hey, that's how all the heads are doing it nowadays anyway, right? I'm a singer / songwriter and I play the guitar. You?

BTW, Marvy's totally astonished whenever he sees a New Waver in their 20's. I think it's GREAT! I wonder though, what is the appeal to you guys?

I remember thinking when I hit 25, "oh my gosh - I'm no longer in my EARLY 20's!"

[:)]*sigh*[:)]

Life just gets better, trust me [;)].

Oh, and Marvy's a spritely 34 [8D]

I was born on the very day that TV's Superman - George Reeves killed himself. If you do a little research...then you'll know.

Just turned 40 last July 12, 2005. And Frayo, to like New Wave is to be truly blessed. You've got taste. Too bad you couldn't live in the era, it was amazing. But, hey, you've got a lot of New Wave bands still kicking and on tour like Duran Duran, Echo and The Bunnymen, and The Cure. Also you have got Nu New Wave bands like Killers and Interpol. Killers are particularly good. I would say that Elvis Costello really kicked it off in 1977, Blondie and The Cars followed and when the Brits came in, well, it was well under way. Rap and Hip Hop have destroyed any remnant of class and coolness in pop music. And Coldplay? More like Sleep Play.
