Leaders: Don’t Get "Old"

"People try to put us down

Just because we get around

Things they do look awful cold

I hope I die before I get old

This is my generation

This is my generation, baby

Why don’t you all fade away

And don’t try to dig what we all say

I’m not trying to cause a big sensation

I’m just talkin’ ’bout my generation " – The Who

Like a lot of boomers, I remember rockin to "My Generation" and asking my friends to shoot me before I got "old". And I didn’t really mean old, as in "old age". There were a lot of cool old dudes we could point to. I was referring to that old coot for a boss I had at the supermarket, who was stuck in his ways, critical, miserable and lazy. I guess it was afraid of becoming "old fashioned", or "old school" more than getting just plain old.
