Fully agree. Like certain NFL quarterbacks, there are rock stars who stick around so long after their prime that they become caricatures of themselves. They should spend more time in the studio and less time on stage trying to recapture the spark of their former 25-year-old selves.
Not too many rock stars can pull off a long career well into their 60s but it does happen. As much as I dislike the man's politics, Bruce Springsteen is one who still puts a great rock concert. He's also one who performs much better on stage than in the studio.
Bruce Springstein has can still do his old songs with credibility and stage presence equivalent to what he had when 25-35 years old
#1 Key reason is he is always playing a guitar so is not expected to dance, jump and cavort all over the stage the way Jagger and Plant did being singers only. And Jagger still tries to pull off at age 67??? lol
#2 is he (Springstein) still has a reasonably full head of black hair
#3 I don't like his politics...as far as his music only 2-3 songs grab me. But they say he puts on a bofo show. Ever hear of the Cask and Flagon near Fenway?
