“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?” Jury still out on that one — 8 Comments

  1. I’m a bit too young to be a Beatles fan…

    It’s still pretty humorous, the way that the words of the song connect to current events.

  2. I think a lot of young people think they are immortal, and have been hard wired to think that way because the human species survived on the principle that men are expendable while women are not. Women thought long term, men around women thought short term.

  3. Cool observation on Paul’s age and the song! There is no sense of self when people in their 20’s try to image themselves in ‘ancient age’ … when I was a kid I could not image myself, a mental picture, of being older than 35. Some of this might have some relevance on youthful orthodoxies and the volatility and swore allegiances [no matter how blindly or corruptly they are formulated] in which they are defended — there is no mental vision of the self changed …. I dunno, maybe it’s the reality of the difference between emotional maturity and emotional immaturity. But back on the topic of the song, I think it was metaphorical to a physiology that was almost a mythological impossibility, like swimming an endless ocean when you had no desire to even approach the water … okay I’m babbling now. 😀
