Yeah but Keef's been dead about 20 years, so he doesn't look that bad actually

Robert Plant, on the other hand, has not aged well.

hmmm.... but Plant looks especially bad in that top photo because he's clearly just finished a set. He was on TV recently and looked much better than that.
He certainly looks more 'ageing rock star' than Jimmy Page who looks fat and bloated all the time. (wonder why..?! )
Eric Clapton looks quite cool now especially in a suit with his strat down about his knees howling out a Robert Johnson song.
Jagger, however, looks even more frightening than he ever did and Keith actually died in 1854.

Ronnie Wood still looks great for his age!

Saw Scott Gorham at the BTCC at Brands Sunday but I only got a pic of him from behind!

If Elvis was still alive he would be dead by now . . .

So much better when the icon remains young....

I'm sure the icons prefer to still be alive.

Here are Plant, Page and Jones all looking fine for men of their ages in May 2003:

Nah, rockstar must die young to become a real icon: Jim M., Jimi H., Buddy H. etc.

Keef is great but he's the exception to the rule . . . as is Maceo Parker.

Imagine Sting just going on and on . . . Marc Knopfler . . . sorry, must retire and stay out of sight.

Ozzy Osb . . . it's a joke really.

Thats quiet a good one of Keef.

Anyway, I think he looks the fg bollox. And he's still the greatest rock n roller on the planet. And they are touring again.
