The other post is a quick test for line drawings... this for photographs. But just a thought since I'm foolin' around here...
Ian Anderson, front man for Jethro Tull, turned 60 last month. The group's been around for almost four decades. Later is a current pic of Anderson. It seems that he has aged better than most rockers... yet remained tres cool and still innovative (as has his/their music). I see them in concert in London, ON right after this Thanksgiving... I saw them last in Binghamton, NY in October of 1975!
Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones played halftime at the Superbowl here in Detroit... Steven Tyler and Aerosmith in concert here just last week. Alice Cooper was just at the Michigan State Fair. All seem much much older than they actually are - and yet embarrassingly have tried to LOOK and perform their music and act like they did 30 or 35 or more years ago. All looking very much like my 80 year old dad did in his coffin - only with a long, jet black fright wig and mascara. Anderson has the sense not to still dress in tights and a codpiece and keep his hair and beard as long an as wild as he did when he was 25. Nor does he feel the need to.
