  • I am 37 and still agree with the statement.
  • Years ago Roger Daltrey hoped he'd die before he got old and he's in his 60s now, so perhaps it's best not to take song lyrics and quotes from young people too seriously.
  • He was right at the time... now I think he may see things differently!
  • I don't know ....should I trust YOU?
  • Nah. Couldn't trust him then; can't trust him now. But he's still cool to listen to, if you don't try to figure out whatever the hell it is he's saying.
  • by stating, "listen to him now" do you mean listen or do you mean trust? i think its fine to listen to him whether he's 9 months or 9 decades old. however, by his once having said that we ought not trust anyone over 30, he would now be hypocritical if he argued that we ought not trust anyone over 70. now, if he continues to say, don't trust anyone over 30, now that he's, what, in his 60s, then, i'd listen to him and, gosh, he has credibility by age, so i'd even trust him if he continued to say don't trust anybody over 30.
  • 1) "Several Google searchers reported it attributed quote to ..variously...Jerry Rubin,Tom Hayden and Jack Weinberg these were of the Free Speech Movement which has a website at www.fsm.a.org Jerry Rubin was associated closely with Abbie Hoffman, and sounds like all of these in the 60's were probably originators of this particular rendition of the thought which has likely been floating around since neolithic times."

I didn't even realize he was 30 years old in August 1968 at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where we were arrested for trying to nominate a pig for President and where it was reported he said, ''Never trust anyone over 30.'' Indeed, he may have said it often, but Jerry Rubin did not coin the phrase. Credit must be given to Jack Weinberger, the civil rights and Berkeley free-speech activist, back in 1964. " Source and further information: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE3DC163FF933A2575BC0A96E948260 3) Anyway, if you don't trust someone, it does not mean that you should not listen to them, just that you should be aware that they *could* lie...
  • Sure and don't trust anyone under 30 either.
  • dosen t matter the age, you must always watch who you really trust.
  • how do you really know he actually said that. i couldnt understand a word he said. ive never known anyone who mumbled so much. as for the question, i wholly disagree. i put my trust in a quite a number of people over 30. i select my confidants carefully. most of the time im havent been disappointed! :D
  • Thats rubbish! Im over thirty and can be trusted completely! but I could under thirty too!
  • This quotation is misattributed to Dylan. It was actually said by Jack Weinberg, circa 1965 -- and it was a tongue-in-cheek comment. See: http://www.bartleby.com/73/1828.html AUTHOR: Jack Weinberg QUOTATION: We have a saying in the movement that we don’t trust anybody over 30. ATTRIBUTION: JACK WEINBERG, twenty-four year old leader of the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley, California, interview with San Francisco Chronicle reporter, c. 1965. Weinberg later said he did not actually believe the statement, but said it as a kind of taunt to a question asking if there were outside adults manipulating the organization.—The Washington Post, March 23, 1970, p. A1.
  • He's changed his tune
