Then you have assholes like Don Dokken, who can no longer sing at all and has absolutely no business performing live. That ****er basically stole from me.

I thought Stevie sounded fine in that video, considering her age and the life she's led. She's probably snorted enough coke in her life to kill a blue whale.

Just saw a 55yo Billy Corgan the other night (sounded great), along with with Jane's Addiction (63yo, and couldn't tell he's retirement age, even if the music isn't amazing). I've wanted to go see Aerosmith, who still does shows in Vegas... but dude is the same age as Stevie Nicks (74).

But yeah, this is basically me, chasing the great music of my childhood....
