A Generation and it's Rockstar Paradox

Consider this image:


Clearly, these "rock and rollers" are past their prime. However, they're still able to turn *more than* a decent buck playing rock and roll.

...thats odd.

Keith Richards has donned some haberdashery for this photo. Ron Wood isn't showing his dentures (some of the others in the photograph should not have shown their dentures either). We're left to assume balding and tooth decay have occurred.

This assumption is not a stretch, we're all getting older afterall. Heres hoping Keith Richards and Ron Wood manage balding and tooth decay at the highest levels.

Some of my favorite people are bald.

You always want to pay a compliment before you tear into someone or a group of someones. Cliff Blog has done it's best in this endeavor.

Balding and tooth decay are not the problem here, it happens, and with no discrimination.

No, The Rolling Stones are exemplary of a much deeper problem, that being the baby boomers' reluctance to "move on". Unfortunately, Grace Slick was dead on when she told VH-1's "Behind the Music" that, "all rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire."*

It's true.

C'mon baby boomers, aren't you happy enough with the mark your generation left on society? Zoning and bankruptcy...Time to leave the stage.

is that 10 am real time or 10 am daylight savings time, which by the way does not save any electricity and just plain makes me angry

Anything "year round" would be preferable to the nonsense we currently have. Set the time and forget it.
