    My "Musicians Who Turn 60" posting a few months back was such a hit, that I decided to do a 50-year-old one. 
Post your favorite photos!

    Is that your professional diagnosis, doctor? :D
 
To: The KG9 Kid
    I was confusing him with Thomas Dolby, who also turns 50 this year.
Stuart Adamson of Big Country would’ve turned 50 too. He died in 2001.

    ... and Nancy Spungen would’ve been 50 as well, although she wasn’t a musician but a groupie.

    Nikki Sixx and Bruce Dickinson. Damn that makes me feel old. I grew listening to Motley Crue and Iron Maiden.
