Over 50 Rock Stars

[Uke]

Grace Slick has said, to paraphrase, "rock stars over fifty shouldn't be seen because they look stupid." I don't think this applies to Bruce and E-Street.

How old was Ms. Slick when she said that? Just wondering since opinions based on the age of someone else seem to change with every trip around the sun.

She said in in 1998 (she was 59), but she retired from music when she was 50.

In all fairness, I do think she was post 50 when she said it.

Bruce is great!.
Nebraska is still one of my fave albums of all time.

Depends who it is. Bruce, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Jeff Beck right before his passing, and more, still have/had it.

Some others, not so much.

BTW, just today, Little Steven followed in Bruce's footsteps and sold the rights to his catalog:

Most impressive was seeing Dion recently with a $25 all in ticket deal at a favorite local venue. I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I surprised. At 83, he rocked the house!

Then we have Mick Jagger - not so young anymore - but boy-o-boy - can he move

Here 6 weeks after heart surgery . . . better than just about 99% of all people at their youth .
