Aging Gracefully

Motley Crue are launching a massive US tour with "more Pyro than Rammstein" according to guitarist Mick Mars, Brian Johnson wants AC/DC back on the road and Aerosmith are getting into the studio for the first time in a decade, assuming they can find one big enough to accommodate the chip on Joe Perry's shoulder and Steven Tyler's ego.

The weird thing is the music these guys became famous for put youth on a pedestal and now they're in their 60's. At what point does it cease to be relevant Rock n Roll?

Perhaps it's not about age, but rather about attitude. If that's the case, we're likely to see Tyler strutting across a stage wearing scarves and tight jeans well into his golden years, a thought that should make even the most die hard fan just a bit nauseous.

Maybe they should all take a lesson from Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and try something new, like playing a ukulele. Is there a point at which this whole thing becomes a joke (like the Metallica themed version of Monopoly, perhaps?) or can the music, fans and bands age together with some style?
