"38 Years Old", The Tragically Hip.

[DoreenMichele]

I had never heard of that before and I had no idea what on earth you meant until I googled it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38_Years_Old

Me neither, but I find it is a perfect description for that age (38): you are tragically hip.

You are young enough to be hip to everything that is going on. Tragically though, you are too old for being 20 again, to do everything "the right why" now that you have discernment.

But you are not there yet, where the 50 year old dude is, squeezing the lemon for all that's still left and not giving a function key f1.

I must be missing some hidden meaning in these wikipedia link/lyrics because what I'm getting from them is a song about a guy who broke out of prison for killing a guy who raped his sister when he was 20 and was in jail for 18 years..

I guess the point is he was gone from society for 18 years? Am I the only mid-30s person who doesn't feel like they're unhip?

I'm older, but I'd wager hip is to knowledge as authentic is to wisdom.
