I’m not shocked by that so much as the revelation that a member of a band that was cool in my youth (i.e. the 90s) is 64 - that’s pretty old! Too young to die of course, but still. I guess it comes to us all. ---

Too young to die of course, but still. I guess it comes to us all. I am always reminded that by the time Blood Sugar Sex Magik hit, they had already been around and touring for awhile. I always thought of them as a 90’s band, but they had been together in the 80’s. I mean, Flea is in Back to the Future! ---

Yeah, I guess they had a sort of second peak (I’m not a big music fan, so I wouldn’t know). My favourite band is Bon Jovi, I’m not even going to look up how old he is. As long he can pass for 43 or so, that’s what I’ll stick with. No idea how he can still speak, let alone sing. ---

I saw a commercial for an upcoming episode of a talk show (I think it was Jimmy Fallon) and it said Jon Bon Jovi was going to be a guest this week.
