I was watching wrestling from the 90s recently and saw one of my favorites, Rick Rude:

Rick rude died at the age of 40. Which was right around the time of this photo. I'm turning 40 this year and I look like I'm 17 without a grey hair or line on my face. This guy looks like he can shred cheese on his cheeks.

The dad from Alf was 44 when season 1 came out. I'm an average looking 44 year old now and look at least 20 years younger than he did. The silent generation got old in their 30s instaad of their 60s.

I was surprised that this wasn't Pink Floyd, the lyrics sounded very Roger Watery.
