    Default Ages of Border Members

    I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of younger members here on the Border and I'd like to get a snapshot of our ages. By creating a poll, I hope to cast a wider net and include folks who don't regularly post.

    I've told my age many times on here, but I'll be of legal drinking age in the states in September. (Yes, I'm somewhat patiently waiting for that day lol). Plus the 95 in my username is my birth year. (So I'm 20)

    I wonder if there are more younger members or older members.

    Twenty-one and strong as I can be, I know what freedom means to me...

    I'm all too happy to get some mileage out of that while I still can! I turn 22 in August.

    However, I was born in 1994, which means I was born the year Hell Froze Over and I will always have that!

    I was born in 1958, which makes me 58!

    I am extremely happy that I was born in an era of what I consider the best music ever. Rock & Roll had been born, and by the time I was 6 The Beatles were all the rage. I got to witness them go from straight R&R all the way through their experimental period and I loved it all. Although I was only 11 when Woodstock happened, I feel that I was riding the tails of the hippie movement - not the drugs part, LOL, but I really identified with the peace, love and music.

    As I have gotten older I have come to enjoy the softer side of rock/ folk music. These days, besides the Eagles, I am happiest listening to some old Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Linda Ronstadt, and James Taylor, to name a few. But the concert I'd really like to see next is the Doobie Brothers!

    Well, it's hard to admit, but I'm 59 and will be 60 in August. How time flies!

    I've loved the Eagles since their inception and hearing Take It Easy and Witchy Woman on the radio. Hearing their songs today takes me back to my teenage years and I've never gotten tired of listening to them.

    I'm amazed at the Eagles knowledge of some of you younger members! You guys are good! And I'm so glad you don't mind sharing this board with us 'veterans'!

    I'm 29 and will be turning 30 in August. So I'm on the border (pun intended LOL) and voted for the 20s group since I'm still there. Although I look so much younger than my age, but at times I felt like I was born in the wrong decade with how much I love earlier decades and their music. It's why my Mom still calls me her little, hippie child. LOL But I'm still way too attached to our technology and my shows/movies.

    Will be 22 at the beginning of August--I share a birthday with Jerry Garcia and Def Leppard front-man Joe Elliott.

    Was born the year "Hell Freezes Over" and Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" album came out.
