All of which means there's going to be an awful lot of mourning going on.

Behold the killing fields that lie before us: Bob Dylan (78 years old); Paul McCartney (77); Paul Simon (77) and Art Garfunkel (77); Carole King (77); Brian Wilson (77); Mick Jagger (76) and Keith Richards (75); Joni Mitchell (75); Jimmy Page (75) and Robert Plant (71); Ray Davies (75); Roger Daltrey (75) and Pete Townshend (74); Roger Waters (75) and David Gilmour (73); Rod Stewart (74); Eric Clapton (74); Debbie Harry (74); Neil Young (73); Van Morrison (73); Bryan Ferry (73); Elton John (72); Don Henley (72); James Taylor (71); Jackson Browne (70); Billy Joel (70); and Bruce Springsteen (69, but turning 70 next month).

Keith Richards is the only being Chuck Norris can't kill.

This is a bummer.  Having said that, Keith Richards's hands are the most gnarly looking things in the universe.  The secret of life is in there somewhere.

I’m not saying rock is dead, since Tool is clearly proving otherwise, but we’re pushing 50 years since Led Zeppelin IV. That album is as close to us chronologically as it is to “Yes We Have No Bananas” being a hit; 48 years before Led Zeppelin IV, Louis Armstrong was still playing in King Oliver’s band and Fauré was still writing music.

Many of them will live into their 90’s.

I'm glad they left off Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart.  I assume that means they won't ever die, which is perfectly fine by me.

We still have Dave Grohl for awhile I hope.
