The problem is that too many can't do it and they just won't stop -- they also often end up just replaying their hits, like a perpetual greatest hits tour.<br /><br />A good example is Blondie. I saw Debbie Harry on A&E a couple years ago when they had a series of live concerts from 1980s stars, and she had no ability to hit any of the higher notes. She tried to cover that up by pointing the mic at the audience for those notes or skipping the words, and it just came across as pathetic.<br /><br />It was one of those moments like when you watch a great football player who is playing that one final year too many and just looks spent and too old for the game.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-69070010892768385762012-02-03T13:15:44.607-05:002012-02-03T13:15:44.607-05:00I don't necessarily mind band/acts sticking ar...I don't necessarily mind band/acts sticking around past their expiration dates, mainly because you don't know when Rick Rubin will step in and resuscitate their careers (since thanks for Metallica, Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond, Rick!). AC/DC pulled off a great twist on their 3-chord magic with their last album, too. Also don't begrudge the John Lee Hookers and Buddy Guys who kept pluggin' till the end. After all, they're musicians and what else do they typically know?<br /><br />Former wunderkind Eddie just seems spent and fried at this stage, which is really too bad. Guess it wasn't his singers with the "LSD" (Lead Singer Disease) after all. Pathetic soundtrack for the Carter/Obama era seems semi-fitting, though.EricPhttp://www.threedonia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-5294286361330280452012-02-03T11:06:35.961-05:002012-02-03T11:06:35.961-05:00Eric, That is kind of a sad statement, isn't i...Eric, That is kind of a sad statement, isn't it?<br /><br />Unfortunately, I've noticed with many rockers that there comes a point where they simply can't do it anymore and they shouldn't try.

I’ve already started defending Romney on other blogs from the right. You can bet your booties the onslaught from the left will be withering, so I hope our candidate (Romney) is ready to fight. If he fights he wins big, if he assumes the gentlemen’s prose against Barry’s sleaze machine, I think he still wins, but by a nose. I hope he brings his killer instinct that he revealed against Newt in Florida, for the general…we’ll see.StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-83994026870483070362012-02-02T18:24:48.440-05:002012-02-02T18:24:48.440-05:00Check out "What does Obama do all day?" ...Check out "What does Obama do all day?" by Mickey Kaus on Daily Caller...

"I'm Barack Obama, and I approved tonight's newscast."<br /><br />I could see these numbers tip either way. If a solid Reaganesque campaign is run, I could see the 46-4 blow out you are talking about. But I could also see a lot closer election depending on how the winds blow.<br /><br />I think the big key will be Republican unity. If Republicans band together behind the nominee and present a solid front, Obama's in trouble. If they fracture, that gives him openings.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-48588573071560318032012-02-02T17:50:27.759-05:002012-02-02T17:50:27.759-05:00Yeah, I saw the same poll, and though it would see...Yeah, I saw the same poll, and though it would seem to say landslide my bet if it’s Romney, just a win.
