Keith Richards is going to be mighty lonely.

[rstrahan]

Except for Keith Richards

[Billthedrill]

A hundred years from now young people will be asking who all those names were. And they’ll be asking Keith Richards.

[right way right]

SO?
Maybe they can get BOC to play ‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’ at their funerals.

[BradyLS]

Keith should sport a “Grim Reaper” suit with a scythe-headed guitar at some of their shows. They could call him The Grim Richards. That’d be funny.

[BradyLS]

I think Willie Nelson has all his of them beat and he still does shows. Didn’t Les Paul perform into his 90’s?

[US_MilitaryRules]

Sammy Hagar! Guy is in great shape. 70 something.

[Ciaphas Cain]

A new ice age will render the globe desolate and mute, the Sun will become a red giant and devour the Earth, the galaxy will be split asunder by the approaching Andromeda, the universe will tear itself apart via the runaway metric expansion of space culminating in the Big Rip...

And across the darkness, Keith Richards will laugh.

We need to start thinking about what kind of world we’re leaving for Keef

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The really important question: What kind of world are we leaving to Keith Richards.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I think everyone on the list , if not all, became big stars in the ‘60s and ‘70s. The decade if the ‘20s, the 2020s, is almost here. It’s hard to believe sometimes how much time has passed.

For example, in just a few short months, we will be saying that the Rolling Stones have been a popular group in parts of seven decades — the 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, the 2010s, and now the 2020s.

Great lists and great musicians - melodies and lyrics.

Today’s crop of ‘entertainers’ all play the same old junk - I have no idea who they are and don’t turn the car radio on.

I use youtube for the memories;(

[Dilbert San Diego]

Are Simon and Garfunkel considered rock legends? I mean is their music considered rock?

[dp0622]

LOL

I looked at the list and won’t mourn any and will be glad to see some leftists die.

But I was born in ‘68 and though I like the music from some of these folks, my guys are the hair metal bands of the 80s.

And I won’t mourn when they pass either. Not for them at least.

I will mourn because I will know my time is coming up!!

BTW, love Springsteen’s everyman songs but HATE him and don’t know how he could understand the white struggling male so well and hate them at the same time.

Neil Young? ....spit...

[dowcaet]

No one will ever replace these rock legends. Rock music is dead commercially in America, and probably for good! Be thankful if you got to see these people and listen to their music in their prime in the 70’s and 80’s!

[Wilderness Conservative]

“Those losses have been painful.” You dont say. I liked most of their music but since I knew none of them personally their losses were notable but far from painful.

"Keith Richards is going to be mighty lonely."

Somebody once said that if we had a nuclear war, the only things that would survive would be Keith Richards and cockroaches.

As for the others, some are still fairly active, and - amazingly - might last into their 90s. McCartney in particular seems in pretty good shape. And I think even Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive.

Ironically one band that had a pretty clean image - the Dave Clark 5 - has already lost at least three members: lead singer/keyboardist Mike Smith, sax player Denny Peyton, and bassist Rick Huxley. Clark himself will probably live to be 100.

My heroes, The Animals, have lost two - bassist Chas Chandler and their second keyboard player, Dave Roweberry. Eric Burdon will probably also last till he's at least 90. He's the classic "survivor" type.

[Drew68]

Keith Richards is going to be mighty lonely.

Grace Slick can keep him company. She turns 80 in October.

[Nateman]

I already miss Johnny Cash. Who knows what Steve Jobs would have made next? Bob Hope was better than anybody now. No Cash,no Hope, no Jobs: Kevin Bacon , please don't die!

[wardaddy]

I think about this....Im right behind them

[PIF]

AND?
