I still love Paul McCartney’s story about the first time he actually felt old.
He was riding a subway somewhere, and was recognized by a young fan. She said she was a huge fan and had all of his records.
”Even The Beatles?” he asked, smiling.
Her jaw dropped open, pausing before she answered in awed tones,”You were in a band before Wings?”
Doubling down:
I was as student when a chemistry teacher told a variant of this story as a joke, but some of the other students didn't get it. My lab partner was one of them. She knew who the Beatles were because her parents used to listen to them on the radio, and she knew McCartney's name from music class (or radio, whatever). But she had never heard of the band "Wings" before.
Tripling down:
That class was over 20 years ago.
