There comes a point at which you are no longer a rocker

Some, but not all. Some remain cool. See, e.g., B.B. King, Eric Clapton.

Thank you....I stand corrected. And add Long John Baldry to that list. Passed away last week I believe. Gave Rod Stewart his first gig in his group Steampacket. There are class acts, and then there are groups like the Stones

Imo, both King and Clapton have always been way over rated. King has some coolness but Clapton never had any... Not with the Yardbirds, not even with Cream. N. Young is still cool I say.. but I also say the anti-USA Cantadian can g.t.h.

Those are two musicians who aged well. Their last cd together was fantastic and I hope they do another one.

I have to say I'm very surprised by this...the Stones have always been right of center and very pro-America...
