I've had this theory that songwriters reach their prime in their 30s. So, I did some slap-dash research (that's the American way) and came up with this....measured by commercial success : Artist and approximate age :

Lightfoot - 36

Dylan - 34

J. Browne - 29

B. Joel - 31

Kristofferson - 37

M. Jackson - 24 (wouldn't you know it)

It's of no importance, and means nothing. Just fodder for thought.
