An amusing article on aging rockers, from Neil Young to Bono.

From Rockers aging gracefully and not so gracefully, from Neil Young to Bono BY MARK LEPAGE:

Neil Young

It’s hard to see grace in the FrankenNeil hair or in some spotty recent work, but impossible to miss it in his devotion to songcraft, and volume. If Bob Dylan is an icon, Neil Young is a category.

More bands imitate Neil.

And Neil is a family man who quietly set up a venerated foundation for his disabled kid, now celebrated by half of the rock world order, champions young bands, and still plays so loudly that rumour has it his guitar tech won’t go onstage during a song.

Consider yourself knighted, sir.
