As I was looking for youtube video links there is one thing I noticed. It is sad to see the rockers get old and in some cases fat. That is more depressing to me than to see the film stars get old. (not by much)

The quality of video is so much better today than in the 70s or 80s but I don't want to see some of these grandpas strutting their stuff on stage.
The other draw back to watching them today is a lot of them have lost the top in of their vocal scale.

Yeah, if you went from a 30 waist to a 42, you shouldn't be shaking your boom boom in front of anyone. I saw a version of the Dokken a few years ago and the singer Don, sang everthing an octive lower and struggled with that. I was extremely disappointed, as I watched him smoke one cigarette after another.

I love a lot of REO Speedwagon's songs (even as I mock them for their sheer maudlin ridiculousness), but it is cringeworthy to listen to them live now. Kevin Cronin has lost the entire top register of his vocal range, and he doesn't even do much to hide it. I don't understand why they don't simply play the songs in a lower key more conducive to the current state of his voice, instead of having him flailing about missing notes he hasn't been able to hit in years.

Congratulations Wayne. Now, the question is....have you and your wife started knowing each others thoughts before you speak? That's when it gets scary. For example:

Bob: Hey, Donna. I was thinking. (something I rarely do) Lets'...............

Donna: Yeh, I was thinking that to. I could go for some China Garden food tonight. When.......

Bob: How about 7? We can.......

Donna: Stop at Robins (one of our daughters) on the way home and drop off her keys to her.

Best wishes and wait until you hit 47 years like Donna and me. Scary!!!!!!!
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

I may say, "I was wondering..."
She will reply, "me too so I looked it up. It takes 4274 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop."
And I will ask, "What makes you think that I was thinking about a tootsie pop? I haven't even seen one in 10 years."
She will say "you just had that look on your face."
"What look?"
"The one where you wish you had a tootsie pop."
"I didn't even know I had a tootsie pop look."
"You do. It is similar to your pop tart look."
"I don't even like pop tarts."
"I know. That's how I can tell them apart."
So I will say, "Go back to your knitting and leave me alone."
She says, "It's crocheting Wayne. I have told you that every week for the past 30 years."
"Oh, well I knew it was one of the 2. I figured I had better than a 50-50 chance of being right this time since I was wrong last week too."

I hear Wayne Newton still rocks Vegas and I'm sure Elton John still puts on a good show.

I don't buy that there's an age limit for hitting the stage and putting on a good show.
