The Beatles were a class act. They went out on top. But these old geezers who milk this gig well into their 60’s and 70’s like the rolling stones, putting out a crap record every two years as an excuse to go out on tour to milk their aging fan base. It’s kind of sad. Kind of like that karaoke album that Rod Stewart put out last decade.

Don’t disagree necessarily with your points which are valid. However the other side of the coin is that music is all these people do. It’s their craft and their life. Mccartney and ringo still perform.

I always thought it was great how the beatles ended - having people begging for more. What I don’t understand is why these bands can’t keep the creative level going and keep going further instead of plateauing and deteriorating after they hit 30.

Jeff beck is an example of an act that just kept going and gets better with each year. But he seems to be an exception - with a few others.

What's even creepier is hearing them on the elevator music station.
