Yeah, typically rock stars end up aging pretty bad. Of course the normal weight gain and getting older but a lot of drugs and booze. With some music, it is not JUST the music but the whole image that comes with the bands.
It is sad when AARP aged bands are still trying to be "Cool" But they desperately cling to that image even when they look like Grandpa Moses.
@Punxi I listen to a lot of old American Top 40 reruns from the '80s and the host, Casey Kasem, would tell short stories about how some bands had to struggle or how they got discovered or whatever. Of course it was mostly music but sometimes before a particular song would play he would tell a short story
@Punxi I am just trying to imagine the look on your face when Vince stepped out and looked... well not in his prime.
So get this, some years ago my big sister and a couple friends went to see KC and the sunshine band. Something from her generation. She, like you, was expecting to see something different until KC stepped out and he was old and fat.
From my point of view when I see celebrities that were once sex symbols start looking "older" I always think, "I hope I haven't aged as bad."
