...imagine all the seas awash with cruise ships taking us 120-year-olds to vacation hideaways. And the endless golf courses. Our old wives will have to put up with us geezer husbands chasing them around the bedroom with renewed libido. Holy cow! And I thought paradise was only a dream. I hope that the mad scientists will quit dragging their feet. I don't have time to wait. HARRY MASS Tarzana, California...

...friends. But by 1968, John, Paul and George were really three soloists working within the Beatles franchise, and within the sealed universe of the Abbey Road studio. In Circus, the Stones reached across that universe and invited others to join in--not just rockers but the fire eater and geezer trapeze artistes who fill out the bill. The Beatles were isolates; the Stones, this concert film argues, were family...

...Shepard's dramas of blasted American lives, the terror never stays so politely out of sight--it's usually smacking you in the face. Buried Child, first produced in 1978, opens with a marital conversation conducted across a chasm.

...John Waite performs his only hit single, Missing You, wearing a gauze scarf and looking like David Duchovny digitally reinserted into a Wham! video. If that isn't diverting enough, there are always plenty of women dancing in handkerchief skirts while Dick Clark plays his role of well-preserved geezer-voyeur to a tee. Chatting up a perky audience member with feathered hair, he marvels, "Now how do you do that...

...that just made me think of all the ways Lamar Alexander manages to paint Dole as a geezer without using the word old. In TV interviews, he keeps saying, "I have new ideas, and Senator Dole has, er, ah, Washington ideas." He constantly asks if Dole is the person to lead the country "into the next century." If Thurmond jumped into the Republican presidential race, which now doesn't seem all that farfetched, Alexander could say Strom's not the man to lead the country into his next century...
