lol okay kev, what should the age group between middle age and elderly be called?
I don’t know, what’s a word that means “almost at the end” instead of “halfway between the beginning and the end?”

not enterprising, but of note: Snippets were brought in, but no full tracks - 8 or 9 of the songs were almost fully written within 1-2 hours - Ed wrote all of the lyrics on the spot.
You forgot that they mixed the album underwater

I think you're being a little literal. "Middle age" is commonly understood as the period between 45 and 65, when old age begins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_age

At least that's the current usage of the term

Isn’t everyone hear having some kind of mid-life crisis? If not, why not and how dare you and what’s your secret to being satisfied with life

Of course, but I think Kev being bunched in with a 59 year old really threw him for a loop.

Unless they're gonna start chowing down on stem-cells to constantly regenerate and live to 130, it's probably a bit overly-pedantic to call a 65 year-old person middle-aged.

I was just beginning my mid-life crisis when Gigaton came out (age 42 then), and now almost a year beyond it for this new album. So, I’m not really sure what that means but here I am, ready for this new one.

It's even worse when you don't drink or smoke, you eat a healthy dinner, go to bed early and get enough sleep and still wake up feeling like shit.

Hearing Jeff say "I'm 61" on that interview was a little startling
