I'll tell you what 25 is. 25 is a bloody long time ago!
Do any of you guys remember the baker's cart delivering bread from door to door? I do.
Do any of you guys remember the ice man with his horse and cart delivering big blocks of ice to your ice chest? I do.
Do any of you guys remember being sent by mom down to the corner store to get a pint of milk in a billy can? Or being able to buy a penny's worth of broken biscuits in a large paper bag? I do.
Do any of you guys remember putting sixpence (5 cents) into a Rock-Ola jukebox to play Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock? Or ordering a milk shake with double flavoring, double malt and double ice cream? Or a burger that was so damn big you couldn't get your mouth around it? Or queuing at the local cinema on Saturday afternoon to spend 10 cents for a ticket to see Hopalong Cassidy ride again?
When I was 25, it was 1969 and I watched a bloke step onto the moon and say, "this is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind".
It was also the year I got my first job in radio and sent tens of thousands of listeners rushing for their on/off knobs.

You're not old until they play your high school songs on the "oldies radio station". Why do they have to do that?
