Lookie here. John Cleese is 63 years old. His peer Sir Paul McCartney turned sixty in June. Keith Richards is 59. These people are still very much active is show business. In fact, the ex-Beatle and the Stones are still making money, a rarity in the popular music field these days. That's because 45 year-old fans like me are willing to actually pay for their CDs.

''You don't possess me/ Don't impress me/ Just upset my mind/ Can't instruct me or conduct me/ Just use up my time / I talk to the wind/ My words are all carried away/ I talk to the wind/ The wind does not hear/ The wind cannot hear.'' - King Crimson, 1969
