Ted Falconi said he doesn’t know how old he is because he stopped counting after he turned 50. He’s totally serious, but why the guitarist of the band Flipper would be so defensive of his age is odd for a punk rocker with a long, storied career. He has a rat’s nest of shoulder-length, salt-and-pepper dreads, and his voice has a slight wheeze to it. He’s even got false teeth, but that’s because they got knocked out in a fight 15 years ago.
