Thread Name: BS: What is it about Aging Rock Stars?
Subject: RE: BS: What is it about Aging Rock Stars?
Fish! Fish!!!!!!! And doesn't everyone have a teabreak these days? Mark Knopfler was indeed amazing as are many. It's the aging rock star thing - gotta die before you're thirty stuff. There's no such thing as an 'aging' folkie, classical, whatever. Is it the ultimate commitment to life this aging rock star thing - holding onto eternal youth - peter pan syndrome (whatever THAT is)? I've heard so many tirades again Mick Jagger (oh yes, I can understand) but....... he's just doing what he does. Does Mark Ferrie fit the criteria? Paul McCartney? It's that he's 'aging' and 'rock' that does it. Here I am starting to go on and on ......... what belongs to the young and what belongs to the 'aging' - I would say 'old' but given our culture, it's such a harsh word in its way - oh, and the other thing, why are they always male. I was just thrown Deb Harry and Chrissie Hyndes but they simply don't fit - well I don't think so anyway. There you go - another question - is it a male thing? Personally I find aging rock stars adorable but they do seem to .......... well they do seem to.
