I think Morrissey has aged kind of nicely, actually.

I'm thinking pop/rock/etc. musicians should face mandatory retirement--from live performance, anyway--at, say, forty.  They hang on so damn long nowadays.

I am seeing a sequel to Logan's Run in this.  The highlight would be seeing Mickey Dolenz explode in mid-air.

You know who should stop, nobody that's who.

I think you get out there and do it until either you can't do it, or no one wants to see you do it. Morrissey may have aged but people still line up to see him and he's lucky enough to make a living singing his songs.  I haven't bought a Morrissey album since I was in college but I don't care if people want to listen. Besides what else is Morrissey going to do?

I like a ton of artists whose best days are miles behind them but I respect the fact that they get out there and do it.

I saw Muddy Waters when he was in his sixties.  His guitar wasn't prime but his voice still killed.

I think Weezer needs to call it a day.  It's just not cute anymore. 

And of course Fox News needs to be nuked out of existence.

I've never really liked Weezer but I recently heard a Rivers Cuomo solo thing that wasn't too bad.




Alone II was great.

Besides, who will the Latino teenagers look up to if he retires?
