Pat Riot Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Thanks…Thanks a lot. I woke feeling pert as a ruttin’ buck and then I see this. Are you trying to make me feel old? Hey, I looked at the bright side. All the drugs and alcohol those people did and they’re still around? There is hope for me yet. They didn’t even bother listing Keith Richards. His name being on the list would just be a given.
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 Well, is the glass half empty or half full? Only you can make that call. My view is that if I have a favorite in that group, I might just make a road trip if it's not too distant. (and gas is not outrageous) We all have a casket in our future. I just don't want to sit and stare at mine until it gets here.
Pat Riot Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I don’t deal in half full. If it’s full, I empty it then refill it.
Alpo Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Interesting. They list Paul Simon, 81, but not Art Garfunkel, also 81. They have Mick Jagger, 79, but not Keith Richards, also 79. But they do have both surviving Beatles - Ringo, 82, and Paul, 80. Maybe they're both listed because they are different ages?

They didn't list Keith Richards due to the fact that he's been dead ever since 1969...his body just hasn't detoxed enough yet to know it.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Ah, Grace Slick. Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Moby Grape, Quicksilver Messenger Service....they played at Cal dances in Berkeley when I was a frat boy there in 1966-67. Does that mean I'm old, too? Say it ain't so! We had fun times then.
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 It's amazing the level of success that some of them had in their early 20s. Steve Winwood sang his first big hit at 17. Dang, Carly Simon 78. I showed my wife that Bruce Springsteen photo. She really laughed.
watab kid Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 gracie , jannis , jimmy , and i liked the doors but then im not doing well on longevity with my list
bgavin Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I stopped playing in 2015 and left the band I was with, when Mom became the head conductor on the San Diego Crazy Train. We had to move down there and sort out her mess... 16 months away. After we got back, the cardiac problems surfaced... In short, I haven't played music at all, for 7 years now. It would be nice to find a group of old farts with similar musical interests, and without the usual Hard Left musician views. Rare to find, this is.
