The sands of time

I was reading about the Ted Nugent speech at the NRA rally for my man tom Delay and trying to reconcile the idiotic cracker douche up on that stage with the rock star Wango Tango Wang Dang Sweet Poontang Nuge from the 70's. That guy used to sell out stadiums and now he's a whacky ass shill for Tom Delay and Wayne LaPierre? He was always an idiot with the loincloths and flaming arrows and crap but idiocy is not necesarrily a preventitive to coolness......just look at Ringo Starr! But with the Nuge and others of his ilk how can one's star fall so far? How the hell does that happen?

It led me to think about about folks that have aged well and those that have not. I'll compile a list of those that have done the aging thing with aplomb and those that have just become pretty fucking pathetic. I'll attempt to categorize them together but please don't get too persnikcety about it. It's really, really late (early when you read this), and my head is buzzing from a really long band practice and some really good beers. Now on to the show; please feel free to comment and whine and kvetch if you disagree or be really brilliant and on top of your game if you think I'm dead on .
