If you are willing to say, I'd be curious how old you are.
I have found that these types of comments can come from some fairly young folks, but mostly it isn't from folks who have toured. On the Trans America, I often heard "I'm too old" from folks who I met on tour who said "I wish I could do that but, I'm too old". They usually were 10-20 years younger than I was and I figured that at 55 I still had at least 20 years of touring left in me if not a bit more.
It would seem like one ought to be able to tour well into their 70s if they stay healthy and maybe longer if they are lucky in the genetic lottery. Of course health issues can get in the way, but that isn't strictly just age and could happen at any age.
