Just a sidebar here and not a criticism: calling later-60's "into retirement" is no longer totally valid. I worked until I was almost 80 and still take side gigs. I have many friends in their 70's who work full-time jobs, and at the entry level I see plenty of McDonald's and Walmarts with a broad assortment of "seniors" at work. In fact, at my local Lowes and Home Depot, the staffers that work the departments that require advice giving and knowledge, nearly everyone is over 60.

I mention this because I think that we may find that marketers respond to this by making 25-64 (at least) as their ad target soon. Heck, those above 65 can collect Social Security while still doing gig work.

Totally agree. Unlike the lettered generations,, they are much more likely to engage in social activities than watching items on Tiktok.

Interestingly, my spell checker her seems to be a senior... it wanted to replace TikTok with "ticktock".

THe age to receive benefits has also been bumped up from 65 to 67. Although I think the age to receive benefits early but at a reduced amount is still 62.

I'm in that age bracket. I've got rods and bolts holding my back together. I've got chunks of metal in my neck. My knees are in worse shape than the President's brain. My heart's one good combined sneeze/fart/hiccup/belch at crapping out. I have one internal organ left that hasn't malfunctioned..... and they're keeping an eye on that one. And there are people in my class in WORSE shape than me. I'd like to get up and dance but within 10 minutes I'll be sucking air so hard they'll have to open doors to get some more oxygen in.

Yikes! Sorry to hear all of that. It sounds like it's more than age related that's happening to you, though.

Look on the brightside, at least you're healthy enough to do a 4 hour DJ gig!

The only song by Ferrante and Teicher that I like is "Midnight Cowboy", and that's mostly due to Vincent Bell's unjustly uncredited "water-drop" guitar sound.

Also, Airport Love Theme by Vincent Bell used the same 'water-drop' sound.

I can't believe you don't like anything else by Ferrante and Teicher.
