George Coleman is 88 years young! You try and play a saxophone like that. I dare you.

Charlie Harper of UK Subs is also 79. currently playing 4 or 5 nights in a row at the 100 Club although this year is the last year he's doing actual tours. they're still doing one off gigs and festivals next year though.

I thought George Coleman was actually older than that, only 88? the old lad has still got his best years ahead of him!

The new Stones songs are good; Mick’s 80, and Keith will be in a few months… I know they’ve lived well and have certain advantages, but I find their continued vitality and “effort” to be fairly inspirational.

McCartney is 81 and played a great show last year. I will go see that guy live until he kicks it.

Russell and Ron Mael are in their mid 70s and were incredible when I saw them a few months ago. Russell sounds basically the same as always somehow.

Adrian Belew's another one, he's 73 and hasn't lost a step at all. his voice is so close to what it was in the 80s that it's actually kinda freaky, especially when he's playing with other old folks whose voices have deepened quite a bit.

Bob Weir, 75, man just cannot stop, rolling on with his Wolf Bros project with Don Was (himself 71), Jay Lane and Jeff Chimenti. And, you know, still keeping swole:
