Bob Dylan ain't talkin', just walkin' down this thing called life and today is one of his milestones. We aren't sure how he is celebrating, but the internet is showing him a bunch of love Tuesday in honor of his 75th birthday. It seems like only yesterday -- though it was actually more like 16,435 days -- since Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz famously celebrated Dylan's 30th birthday. In it, the character of Linus says "Bob Dylan will be thirty years old this month" to which Charlie Brown replies "That's the most depressing thing I've ever heard"/CNN. More here.

Question: What events make you feel old?
