Not Fade Away
-
This article notes that some rock stars are retiring, like Elton John, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond. Others, like Springsteen and McCartney, are continuing to tour and/or record new music. And that raises the question if you'd rather that your musical heroes retire or keep going. If you hate the idea of seeing your youthful icons grow old, I guess you want them to retire. If you like the new stuff or still want to see a gray-haired version of your favorites belt out the hits, you'd want them to keep going. My take: It should entirely be up to the artist. Still got something to say? Still enjoy performing? Go for it. Want to take it easy? Retire. Fans don't HAVE to buy tickets or new music, but if the artist wants to keep active, why not have that option? (CBC)
