52 is middle age.

That's good.

Yeah I’d say it’s something like 40-60. The middle of adulthood. Then around 60 it’s weird because it used to be elderly but 60 year olds are just in so much better shape than a few generations back were at that age. And really I think that’s where a lot of our awkwardness about aging comes from. Back in the day a 40 year old looked like a 60 year old now.

But yeah he’s old. He’s still cool af, but his iconic music was about a phenomenon I have to explain to people who can vote.
