"The American emphasis on concrete achievements and "doing" means that age is not highly valued in [America]." Do you believe this statement to be True or False?
Unfortunately, I think that's true. But it shouldn't be. I played a concert in Banner Elk, NC, on Tuesday night, and there was a man who was turning 100 years old on Wednesday in the audience. He was a veteran and an author and he was still spry and alert and in excellent health. What's the word for when emotions choke one up? It felt that way. I don't think I've ever met a centenarian before.
