This year, Michael Jackson and Madonna who once symbolized the insolence and iconoclasm and adrenaline of youth, are now walking museum pieces (oh yeah I said it). Only in the rock genre does the aging process make the public feel uncomfortable; only in the world of rock do middle-aged performers feel pressure to exit the scene before they start making fools of themselves. th the exception of a few chosen ones - would like all the Claptons and Collinses and Joels and Stewarts to get off the stage, go into retirement, take up producing young upstarts, try their hand at a reality show (think Bret Michaels), or slowly fade out of sight.
Okay so call me totally shallow but my friend and I posed this question to one another so here I am asking you dear readers. What middle aged rockers still have it (musically, physically, etc? Nothing like a totally mindless post for the weekend:
Here are mine:
3. Prince
2. Anthony Kiedis
1. Lenny Kravitz

I just saw Paul Weller so he was first to pop into my mind. He still has it...most definitely.
My other faves are Morrissey, David Gahan and Robert Smith...of course!
Great question, I will probably pop back when I remember some more names,

I also agree with Tracy on Paul Weller, I saw him last week too and boy does he still have it. I'd add to the list Bobby McFerrin, older but just keeps getting better...
And Cindy Blackman, Lenny Kravitz's drummer who is smokin' hot. Had to put a woman in...

How hot does Kravitz look at 44?
LENNY Kravitz seems to think it's all about the music. How Hot is that? On one level, he's right. It's the music--that defiant blend of retro and modern rock, soul, funk and even hip-hop under raspy, honest vocals--that drives him and made him a superstar. But it's the image that often transcends the music--the muscled, tattooed and pierced body that seductive sensuality and full-out emotion that make women want to he with him and make men want to be him.
I'd add to the list Bobby McFerrin, older but just keeps getting better...
Good call!

Ash, you provided supporting evidence to back up your argument - good girl, very good girl. Naked man picture was essential.
Great fun, Mis!
