My near 21-year-old cat (makes him ~100 in cat years) exhibits many of the same symptoms attributed to aging in humans. Much of his day is sleeping and when up either eating, yelling at caregivers or looking out of the staring window watching the bird feeder. Thinking of that and also the 90th birthday of Elvis begs the question, what would Elvis have been like had he reached 90? He died almost 50 years ago, but what would he have been like, or is it one of those divide by zero problems? We'll never know, but for sure, even across species, aging is the great equalizer.
Man, that IS a great question. I took that to some of my senior friends, and we were talking about it. Makes me want to spin some of Johnny Cash's "American" recordings. I love how Rick Rubin captured his later sound.
