That's kind on a double standard isn't it??

Stevie is #123 and 124 - they didn't get the before year right either, it says 1978 instead of 1987.

Some of the other photos are downright scary.

The "after" photo of Stevie just reinforces my view that she looks FABULOUS for not only a woman her age, but for a woman who has put herself through the wringer and was substance abuser for the better part of her life. Wow. She is gorgeous. And yeah, that first photo was not from 1978, but I'm sure that's already been discussed at length.

What the hell happened to Adam Ant? He looks like someone's grandfather! He can't be THAT old can he?!

info from Billboard.com:

Born: November, 03, 1954

"One of the seminal figures of new wave, Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) had several distinct phases to his career. Initially, he explored a jagged, guitar-oriented post-punk with his group Adam and the Ants before giving way to a more pop-oriented, glam-tinged musical direction that brought him to the top of the charts. After that had run its course, he refashioned himself as a mainstream singer, which enabled him to stretch his career out for a couple of years. Once it seemed that his musical career had evaporated, he made an unexpected comeback in the early '90s as an adult alternative artist."

Wow, born in 1954...wouldn't have guessed THAT!

Thanks for posting that EVH interview earlier. That guy is a total douchebag, albeit one of the best guitar player douchebags ever to have graced a stage. That makes me sick to think about, but whatever. I think EVH is on the edge of total emotional and physical collapse. He has totally self-destructed. I wonder what kind of cancer treatment he had. He makes it sound like he went to a witch-doctor or something. Probably did.

...before walking in to a pub with his trousers around his ankles.

Allegedly.

You mean to tell me I share a birthday with this douchebag? Aww man...

About the rest of the slideshow, these arevery poor photos and it's not a very in depth look at their aging. For example, Barry Manilow was just as haggard and washed up in '93 as he is today.

Yeah, but whose face is she licking?

Stevie looks great for her age. She will always be beautiful. Poor Eddie Van Halen has changed so much! Hope he is doing okay. Grace Slick looks so much like my husband's older sister then and now. Scary. lol Barry Manilow, Sting, Jon Bon Jovi look great!!!
