[78-L] Older musicians

[Rodger Holtin iPod]

I'll bet anything Satch was consciously quoting Two Black Crows with  
that line, too.

Enough of the digression.  To further the discussion, Does anybody  
have any anecdotes on this subject of aging from the antique rockers  
we still have amongst us, Jagger, McCartnyy et al?

Sent from my iPod - which explainz any bad typjng
