Here’s a hint. They’re too freaking old. Plant’s voice cannot hold up to the test of time.>>>>>>>>>>

He can pull it off vocally. But visually it is too ridiculous for a 65 year old man with a gray goatee and grayish hair to be jumping around like the 40 year old Robert Plant. Mick Jagger has looked ridiculous for 20 years.

"Here’s a hint. They’re too freaking old."

Tell me.

I'm 67 years old. I overheard my visiting sister tell someone when she was here for Christmas that she was suprised at how well Bill(me) was getting around.
I thought Humphh!!

I saw Plant about 5 years ago, and then saw him again with Alison Kraus a couple of years ago. He didn’t do any jumping around. Both of those shows were terrific.

Yeah, the kids are alright, but they say the darndest things. I wonder if they’re still hoping . . .

Fully agree. Like certain NFL quarterbacks, there are rock stars who stick around so long after their prime that they become caricatures of themselves. They should spend more time in the studio and less time on stage trying to recapture the spark of their former 25-year-old selves.

Not too many rock stars can pull off a long career well into their 60s but it does happen. As much as I dislike the man's politics, Bruce Springsteen is one who still puts a great rock concert. He's also one who performs much better on stage than in the studio.

Yep. Carrying all that money to the bank makes him walk funny.
