- jfengel 6y agoI had heard that they drop that line when they sing it now. False rumor?

- mikestew 6y agoSaw them live on their most recent tour last year, and Daltrey still sings about his demise before reaching elderly status. EDIT: whoops, it was the 50th anniversary tour of 2016. They didn't do My Generation in Seattle in 2019.
- corpMaverick 6y ago'demanitated' that is a new word for me. Google doesn't show much. Does it mean cutting hands? from the (Spanish/Latin) manos=hands

I hope I got the declension correct in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24628056 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24628056 but didn't bother double checking this neologism.
