This is all a bunch of silliness. I remember when radio stations banned Elvis the Pelvis because of his lewd dancing style, or The Beatles because of something John said about Jesus. Radio stations are just not that important.

Who even listens to radio stations anymore? I stream almost 100% of the music I listen to these days. I don't think I could even name one local station on my FM dial.

Not that aging rock bands are important either. If I go to a concert, rare these days, I want to see an artist in their prime. I don't want to watch an 80-year-old Mick Jagger shuffle-step to "Satisfaction" to some rent-a-drummer because the original drummer died of old age.

Green Day was a thing in the 1990s. Now they are just another bunch of old grouches lackadaisically playing their decades-old string of hits to a bunch of old affluent people with the disposable income to drop several hundred dollars a ticket for a night out to try and relive their glory days.

It's a sad sight all around.

Oh, you mean another One-Foot-In-The-Grave tour?

I just saw Yes and Deep Purple in concert. I wasn’t expecting much as they are all ageing. It was all original members with 1 exception. I was blown away. All these guys were surprisingly on top of their game. The concert was scorchingly good and both bands were extremely tight.
