The concert t-shirts have attached bibs, and the whole thing ties on in back. When the tours are sponsored by Depends™ and AARP, it's almost time to stick a fork in it. I'm thinking that the guys who died in plane crashes years ago were the lucky ones.
Yes, getting old sucks. HOPE I DIE BEFORE I GET OLD was the thought back then. But that was before the Grandchildren came so there is that.
ReplyDeleteThose old rockers (looking at you Stephen Tyler) need to update their look. Long hair and Crypt Keeper appearance just isn't working anymore. Its not just you - ALL seasoned citizens have to come to grips with the fact they aren't as young as they used to be. Just keep moving and doing. Leave the appearances for young folk. BTW - I'm 61 and understand this 1st hand.
Rock and Roll died with Lemmy.

How the Stones are still on tour baffles the hell out of me.
ReplyDeleteThe Ravishing Mrs. TB has been to several concerts over the last few years of 1980's bands. Her general comment is how old they all look.
ReplyDeleteShe did get to see the Eagles on their last go around. It was one of her favorite shows.
These bands will continue to tour as long as there are boomers willing to shell out several hundred dollars per seat to attend the concerts. Consider it a nostalgia-trip. BTW, Aerosmith long ago morphed into the Golden Girls, particularly Stephen Tyler.
ReplyDeleteAside from the 80's "Hair" bands, you will note that most of the 80's and 90's music is mostly gone now. Once the boomers, particularly the early boomers, are gone, this kind of music will go away with them.
David Lee Roth now looks like "Mr. White" (the Pale King) in the Daniel Craig 007 movies.

Speaking of musical acts.... This just flopped across my digital desk --

Betcha that lasts as long as Cher will, still packing for Canada 12 years later...
