Show us your tits, Roger!

[WhyNot]

One thing I’ve noticed recently is that your body can stay a lot less old looking than your face. I’ve noticed female stars in bikini pics that have firm bodies but very wrinkled faces.

I’ve heard that it’s because it’s much easier to tone the muscles of your body than your face. There’s no real obvious way to add resistance to the face.

Benjamin Franklin believed it was the Fluids:

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

I wonder if he still hopes he dies before he gets old?

The Who do not seem to perform that song anymore. Or at least I couldn’t find a recent performance of it on Youtube.

You can find it in abbreviated form if you search for the 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony. For obvious reasons they skip the bass solo, but that really kinda saps the performance for me. IMHO John Entwistle’s passing is the biggest reason to drop it from their repertoire - he was more than usually integral to that piece.

They performed it when I saw them in’ 02 and’06, but Roger doesn’t do it on his solo tours.

In any event, my understanding is that Roger was always pretty straight-edge- he didn’t drink or do drugs like his bandmates, and was very rarely up after midnight. 69 years of clean living pays off, I guess.
