If you want my body *gasp and you think I’m sex *gasp y
C’mon baby *gasp let me know.
I wonder IF he still sings:
“if you want my body, and you think I’m sexy”
I think its great that these musicians in the 80 or so age group keep going. Hats off to them. This is often what musicians do for as long as they can.

Willie Nelson is 93 and still touring.
Kayfabe, IMO
Looks like we may have another person Keith Richards’ outlives.
What should have been a comedy skit about aging rocker becomes real life.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say Richards musta made a deal with the devil.
An arrythmia is really common with jet lag, alcohol, and altitude. Sounds like he had all three.

I saw Chicago and the Doobie Brothers not long ago, it was enjoyable and they still sounded good.
My biggest take away from it was where I was sitting I could see a beer stand.
Fastest lines I ever saw, not a single I.D. was asked for or shown.
