I saw this video only once in television. It was in 1989 on MTV Europe.

I probably said to myself: It's ok, to create a clip about getting old, but why in Black&White?

Of course, I was much younger and inexperienced, and we recently got our first color tv that time.

Newer saw the clip again for nineteen(!) years, until I searched for it here...

I'm glad you found it.

My 21 year old son died seven years ago today. I hurried and put a video to have at the funeral, and had to include this as one of the songs in it. I can still remember the "we'll all be rock-n-roll stars" verse was timed perfect with a picture of him and two friends of his all looking cool in their sunglasses. Very sad today, but had to watch the video again. Thank you.

Please.May God bless your son :(

I'm just getting back into Joe's old stuff. I bought a greatest hits cd last week and this song was the last one on it. After listening to all my old favorites 100 times, I found this tune at the end and loved it. Like most here I'm getting on in my years and this song talks to me.

I have a feeling you bought his 'Stepping out' album,right?

"Only my mirror sees me crying

Each time I lose another year . . ."

Damn, I became 19 when this song came out in '89. And the mirror...?? Well, forget about it!!

Saw him perform this at New Orleans' Saenger Theater in 1989. It was one of my very first concerts and I can still remember how the gorgeous harmonies on this and all the "Blaze Of Glory" tunes knocked me out. This really should have been a hit, especially with this great video. Its sophistication reminds me of the video the surviving Beatles did for "Free As A Bird."

I was 19 when this song was a hit

[MrBuckwilliam]

i'm 53 and will hit 54 next month. i've asked many of my friends how old they feel and most of them answered that they're somewhere in their teens, usually between 16 and 19... weird. me, i'm stuck at 16... the tail end of 73 and most of 74

ain't life grand :)

@TeenyR1 I saw this concert in New Orleans in the states and was blown away! He did the whole thing in order after doing a set of his older stuff. Loved it!

JJ songs makes me listenin to em repeatedly, on loop mode, again and again. <3

Blaze of Glory is a lost gem in the JJ catalogue. His songwriting was at a peak, the production was extraordinary (except for that fucking tambourine) and the playing ensemble was phenomenal. I love the first 4 albums to death, but I still think this is his finest album. And this track and the title track maybe the best things he ever did. Joe Jackson is monumentally great. Only Ian Hunter shades him for best old white Pom alive.

Feels Good to Be 19 :)

I love the saxophone on this song. Joe is very cool.
