I&#8217;d much rather be like Madonna and shake my ass on stage at 50 &#8212; youngsters&#8217; eyes and opinions be damned &#8212; or be like Macca and rock thousands of Ukrainians at 66, than be a dreary whiner like Jamie at any age.

Oh yeah, there aren&#8217;t any, because it&#8217;s just assumed that men don&#8217;t become disgusting after they have kids and\/or pass the age of 30. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, they were my favorites when I was 15!
