IIRC Howe has a very strict diet. Vegetarian and such.
I am 75 and I have about the same amount of wrinkles as his wife!
He looks awful!
But then Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard and even Jerry Lee Lewis are still alive!

'rockers of every stripe bear a terrible burden!
who are they?
when I'm eighty-four......"
Here's lookin' at ya!
Mick Jagger is probably the healthiest rockstar ever.
He had a proper British middle-class upbringing. A drug bust early in the Stone's career had Jagger facing prison time. Boys like Mick Jagger aren't supposed to go to prison. He was pretty much scared straight and has largely avoided drugs for the remainder of his life.
His addiction is money and not spending it on anyone but himself.
I am hoping the current crop of “artists” follow in their steps. Justin Bieber has 6 more years left : )
How come politicians don’t die young?
“I don’t know if he as an addict, but Rod Stewart certainly was a heavy user at one time. I remember he said he used to do cocaine enemas so he wouldn’t trash his nasal membranes and ruin his voice.”
Use does NOT equal addiction. There are lenty of folks all across society that have used substances (alcohol, drugs) to excess at time, but never to the extent of addiction and the self-destruction which that brings.
In AA meetings, members refer to people that can drink without becoming addicted as “normies.”
Stewart probably a “normie.”
BTW my list of sober performers was far from exhaustive.
A trivia item I intend to mention from time to time, Donald Trump does not drink.
Well, except for the fact that Steve Howe is still an absolutely amazing player, and Keef is playing the same riffs he’s been playing forever.
Appropriate to his milieu, Keith is, but I remember an argument with a freeper a few years ago who said that Keith would go down in history as one of the greatest blues players ever. I think I may have asked (if I did not, I should have) when do you think Keith will start playing the blues? Cuz he sure has not to date been a blues player.
Yes, in fact I saw him Aug 31st in concert. He was fantastic, though I saw him holding up the wall on a couple of occasions as he rocked on!
Oh he can still play....but frankly without Squire, it’s not Yes.
Watch “Beware Mr. Baker” on Netflix. Ginger Baker looks better now than he did as a heroine addict at age 30. He’s still as crazy as a loon and in his mid 70’s!
I was shocked when I found out that Angus Young of AC/DC has been a teetotaler all his life.
You’re right. ‘Yes’ was definitely less without Squire. Missed him.
Countless local demos.

They don’t want to?
The demos all blur into one, sort of. Ya get a call to play on a song you’ve never heard, spend a couple hours, at most, in the studio, get paid, and leave to play your regular gig. The Zaza and Sche’ stuff was for regular cds, released internationally.
