Seeing 60-year-old new romantics at a David Bowie tribute gig.

I think it was Frank Skinner who made this observation- when you no longer need an anecdote for any injuries you know you are old.
This morning, I put my back out (ouch), which prompted me to reflect on the possible causes of this discomfort, ultimately leading to the simple answer…age.

I'd Rather Jack by the Reynolds Girls is now a golden oldie. They're probably now twice as old as every DJ on the radio!

No, they were born in 1970 and 1972, so they are 53 and 55 years old.

There are a number of BBC DJs older than that or close to it - Trevor Nelson is 61, Zoe Ball is 54, Chris Evans is 58, Sara Cox is 51, etc.

I frequent a retro music bar which occasionally has showcase nights for local students. One of them was performing 'Jenny from the block.' I suppose it was written before they were born.
