Hello AARP We totally enjoyed Grown Ups Movie Night 🍿 are there any coming up soon!!!! Thank you Natalie Coy
It was probably in 2019 that I posted a link under “Old People Dancing” to the first video below. Well, Swing and ChaCha with Angie Major, recorded February 10, 2024, have been added to my YouTube account. I do not recommend them as examples of good dancing but as a curiosity/illustration of how dancing, that I started at age 12, is a wonderful, healthful, and fun activity in which one can engage for … well, a many years.

On June 14, 1980 Bill Joel started a six-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with Glass Houses, his second US No.1 album. The album features Joel's first song to peak at No.1 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart, 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me.' His first No. 1 album? Check out the blog for the answer! Billy’s first number one song “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” provides the theme for today’s playlist, songs with some variation of Rock and Roll in their title. Some Rock & Roll song greats include Bob Seger “Old Time Rock & Roll” and “Rock And Roll Never Forgets,” Chuck Berry “Rock And Roll Music,” Joan Jett “I Love Rock ’N Roll,” Huey Lewis “The Heart of Rock And Roll,” The Rolling Stones “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll,” Eric Clapton “I’ve Got a Rock ’N’ Roll Heart,” Boston “Rock & Roll Band,” Led Zeppelin “Rock and Roll,” Kiss “Rock And Roll All Nite,” Bad Company “Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy,” John Fogerty “Rock and Roll Girls,” Elton John “Rock And Roll Madonna,” Meat Loaf “R
Really enjoyed reading this today, and went to Spotify to listen to his new album, Brightside. Need a lift today? Listen to it.. Love it as I’m bopping around the house. ✌️😎
Looking for recommendations for dinner (more than pizza/burgers) and some blues music in/around Chicago. Too old to get to rowdy.
I have to ask, anyone watched the special "Forever Young: A Grammy Salute to Rod Stewart Live"? He was one of my most cherished singers back then and in fact attended a concert in '86 (26+ costume changes) while pregnant with middle daughter who is now truly designing woman... This special is pretty awesome. Thanks for reading.

“” I want to be the first one at a red light.” ”My funeral is next week so I want to get all my errands done quick.”
After the influx of complaints lately, I thought we could use a few laughs about the subject. What ones can you find?
Hello everyone. I am an author and writing instructor, and I am curious if anyone out there has ever dreamed of writing/publishing a book. If so, what's the big dream? Become a best-selling author? Publish your book for family and friends? Start a second career as a writer? Then the next big question, what's stopping your from accomplishing that dream?

There’s something about music and cars - a match made in Heaven. As a teen cruising in my ride (a ’72 VW Beetle), back before digital media and streaming, I’d be listen to tunes mostly on the radio, beholden to the DJs and what they’d play. Rotating through my preset stations, usually WCCC, “The Rock”, WHCN, “The River” famous for album oriented rock, rock blocks, and double shots, and WPLR out of New Haven, I’d search for the best song in the moment. And now and then, I’d stumble upon a song that would instantly inspire a spontaneous right hand to the volume knob, spinning it clockwise to crank up the volume. So what better inspiration for a playlist than songs that made me, over the years, as Autograph wails in the refrain of their song, “turn up the radio.” Obviously some band and albums inspire cranking up the volume, like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, hair metal, etc. But I’m talking about individual songs that back before streaming, in the car or at home, would make you

Hi Everyone! First time on this forum.As far as rock music goes, I listen a lot to 60's & 70's music. Music, I grew up with.Big Bob Seger fan, along with Grand Funk, The Buckinghams, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, The Ides of March, The Grass Roots, Eagles and many more American acts. Not into the English Invasion.
Recreation & Good Lifestyle starts with what we eat and how we movePlotshound: If you are looking for easy ideas for Recreation & Good Lifestyle, the documentary The Game Changers (2019) is a great starting point. Directed by Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jackie Chan, the film is available on Netflix and Apple TV.The movie travels from the UFC Octagon in Las Vegas to a strongman gym in Berlin and even to the bushlands of Zimbabwe. It introduces elite athletes, special ops soldiers, scientists, and everyday heroes who are all on a mission to create a shift in the way we eat and live.Instead of focusing on extreme diets, the core message is simple: a lifestyle built around more plants, more movement, and more recovery can support both performance and daily recreation. That fits perfectly with a good lifestyle for all ages, not just pro athletes.What The
Hope everyone is up and about maybe enjoying that first cup of coffee!The thing I like about 60's and 70's music is that it was fun.Take, for instance, my song of the day.SWEET CITY WOMAN by the StampedersThe Stampeders were a Canadian Pop-Rock Group from the early 70's'This song was their only hit.It was released in September 1971 and reached #8 on the Billboard charts.Now, think, how many pop-rock songs start out with a strumming banjo and mention macaroon cookies in the lyrics? Fun, right?Music tip of the day - check out the You Tube site, cozyhollow. great songs, nice videos. Here all day. Joe

While i usually enjoy most of the articles in AARP, "One Day Home Fixes" was a little disingenuous and could actually be dangerous for some people if they took the advice.Jonathan and Drew may be experts in their line of work but to make suggestions based on their parents' situation and apply it to the general population is unwise at best.They would have been better off consulting with a Certified Aging in Place ( CAPS ) specialist, or an Occupational Therapist experienced in home modification.
The Blues Those songs about the Blues. Do you know some?
At 72 years old, I want one last experience with a band I love... I can't go solo due to mobility issues. I've asked my daughters (who experienced 1-Oct 2017) and their partners and my friend and hopefully will get the tickets the minute they go on sale. What say you, AARP Friends? Good choice? Advise, helpful tips?
