I think it is time to retire

Based on what my ears tell me the following should retire from putting out new material. Like great athletes (Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Jim Kelly etc.) who played long after they should have retired, these people should stop cheapening their great careers.

Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Donald Fagen, David Gilmore, Roger Waters, Elton John are some that come to mind. I would like to know what others think of these people’s efforts to keep it going. I would also like to hear of any additions to my list.

Thanks.

Pete Townshend said it best in 1965.

"Hope I die before I get old!"

But...He didn't so he'll just

"Pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday."

So just lay off the old geezers. Buy and enjoy what you want and let them worry about their legacy.

The only road to eternal youth and greatness is death. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Buddy Holly, Kurt Cobain, and Jim Morrison will always be remembered as young and in their prime.

Unfortunately, the alternative is getting old and staying alive.
