Have you noticed how all the hip, cool, cutting edge musicians from our youth are really old now? How did this happen?
Yesterday, Rick Springfield turned 61. Tomorrow, Gene Simmons also hits 61. Elvis Costello turns 55. David Bowie is 63. Heck, every guy in Def Leppard is in his 50s. There are rumors that 56-year-old David Lee Roth is going to attempt "Jump" with Van Halen again on tour.
Of course, the older we get, the younger that seems. I wonder when AARP Magazine is going to get Devo on the cover.

Just a few days ago, my 14-year-old daughter was watching TV and I wandered into the room. Priciest Pads was on--a rundown of expensive houses of the rich and famous. (Did the 80s come back without telling me?)
And Gene Simmons was there. His house (12 million, if you're interested) is a museum to him and his (playboy model) wife. Cases and cases of Kiss memorabilia. Playboy covers all over the walls. Unbelievable. Everything set up for viewing, although it's not open to the public.
Times have changed.
