Grace Slick said it about 30 years ago, paraphrasing: No one over age 35 should EVER be allowed to get up on stage and play Rock n Roll—it can’t be Rock if it’s played by some old fogey! I wouldn’t be surprised to know that she may get on a stage and play old hits (for the money of course), but that’s not the issue.

Steve Miller—who in his best day was IMO a copycat phony at best and a two-bit hack songwriter at worst, playing junk rock for 80’s yuppies—exemplifies why Grace was right. I’m getting older too, but this guy has been an old hack since his first hit in the 70’s, if you ask me anyway.

And now these old hacks (like Journey, Kiss, Billy Joel, Foreigner etc, and even my college-faves the Eagles) are just pathetic when they get on stage, even though the Eagles still play every song note-perfect.

Hey this is just my opinion, I’m not trying to butthurt anyone’s feelings.
