Shit, I've been getting youtube shorts showing The Rolling Stones, who are in their 80's!!!
ZZ Top and the Eagles are well into their 70's!!!!!
Bob Dylan is 83....

this site: spinditty lists a bunch of them still performing.

I sure as hell don't remember when I was young hearing about bands performing at those ages!

A Youtuber called Pegasus (I think) demonstrated that Don Henley (76) is lip synching his performances
The Eagles' Long Goodbye tour tickets were as much as $630.

So, I've got a lot of respect for the geezers.
Nothing wrong with getting on stage and making tons of $$$.

I just can't wrap my head around it.....

When I was growing up, it was the Blues and Jazz guys that were performing at those ages, rock simply wasn't old enough for that to happen yet.

But yeah I get it. I'll be doing this for as long as I can. Obviously since I'm not famous it will probably stop earlier than these guys since I don't think a lot of bars/small venues want unknown artists in their 80s
