: To quote from below. I say that the only way this can be pulled off and have him not look foolish is for the band to concentrate on the Blues, similar to their idols who are still doing it. Could you take the song "Start Me Up" seriously on stage in 4 years? Could the general public? What do you think is going to happen?
As long as the desire and ability is there, we will see them. If the desire is there but they can't keep up to their expectations and reputation, they will never put themselves in a position to be embarrassed or ridiculed. The mentality of rock n roll being only for the young is still being perpetuated, even though we're in the third generation since rock had it's birth. This is new ground we're breaking, maybe in the near future, long term viable rock artists will be considered the same way blues, jazz, standards, contemporary, artists are viewed. The exception being the rock n roll oldies shows that tour now days. Pathetic.
