Beats the alternatives! He looks pretty good for 80! Once you get into your 60’s, take care of yourself has new meaning!

I went to see Paul McCartney a couple of years ago. He still has it. When he sang the old Roger Moore Bond song "Live And Let Die", I thought the stands at Wake Forest football stadium were going to collapse from all the excitement from the fans. I know I am old-fashioned, but I feel you cannot beat the old groups and singers from yesteryear.... The Beatles, The Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Carly Simon, Carol King, James Taylor, ABBA, etc.

Dave Mason is currently on the road with ''The Traffic Jam'' Tour.
If you haven't seen Mason lately, it's definitely worth checking out.
Mason is 77 and can flat out play some memorable music.

I love The Who! Wish I could get some of that beer! The above mentioned is a reason I get mad when they talk about Biden`s age - it`s not his age it`s his mental status that is the problem. All of the old guys you name above are just fine thank you. Speaking of that, going to the Outlaw Music Festival in Charlotte on June 22nd to see Willie Nelson(91 by then), Bob Dylan(83 by then), Robert Plant(75). Please don`t tell me they are "too old." Looking forward to it very much!!

Mick Jagger can still swing it. He's a legend.

You will enjoy this from ABBA: Especially the last piano alone music at end. Absolutely beautiful. Wish they had kept camera on keyboard at end.

I honestly think that musicianship ages well, vocal ability less so. I've seen many examples of both - in a variety of genres.

Arthur Rubenstein widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of all time gave his last concert when he was 89.

I'm more of a Steely Dan, Chicago, The Doobie Brothers and Earth, Wind and Fire kind of guy.
