I was hoping the piece would be about this sentence from the intro

> Here was this 73-year-old guy dancing, jumping, and sliding across the stage, pulling off moves that would put people in their 30s to shame

How does one keep so fit all the way to 73?

Outside of the obvious things you can do (or shouldn't do) for your health, it kind of comes down to genetics and luck.

Remember Pope John Paul II in his final years, about as infirm as you can get short of actually dying? He lived a pretty healthy life, was known as "healthy" when appointed (which stood out as several of the previous popes had health issues), but was "only" 84 when he died and suffered from serious health issues ten years prior to his death.

Meanwhile Marshall Allen is still playing shows at 98. Yes, ninety-eight. It ought not be possible but somehow it is. This seems to have been recorded last month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M1Ndcy_ZQE
