Aging Rockers

[David]

Yet another aging rocker/geezer rocker story from the superficial press, but this one raises an interesting point (& then lets it drop without examining it): A generation of pop stars can't play rock 'n' roll like the old bands -- many current pop stars don't perform live at all -- so what happens when the final generation of pop stars who know how to play live music & build & pace two-hour shows (roughly, the pop stars from the early 1990s) gets too old to perform? Will the entire live rock industry just turn into a pumped-up dance/variety hour in the style of Britney Spears or Usher?
