I think the best answer is giving by Carl perkins. Just go to youtube.com and watch the videos from is 1986-special (the vids from '97 are down unfortunately and they were almost better!!). That's rock'n'roll at it's purest !
Jerry Lee was already mentioned, so I won't tell you again about him.
Rock'n'Roll has nothing to do with age but with the joy of making music. BTW I'm 22, no old guy just trying to justify himself playing rock.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

So, thanks again for your opinions, and I am definitely going to keep shakin' my long gray hair around for awhile.
LostArt...
That's another thing... leave your hair gray, and be cool with getting older. Everybody gets older, I'm just a few years behind you, but i'll be there in a second. Nothing worse than people trying to be something they're not. You're still a rock star, don't try to be 20 again, though.

Can you be entertained by a dinosaur rocker? Is it still rock n’ roll?
YES. Keep playing as long as you physically can and tell everyone who tells you that you shouldn't to go *bleep* themselves.

I've been watching John Fogerty's new DVD "The Long Road Home". Now there's another over-60 guy who can still ROCK!
Good stuff!

Yes, JimC1702, and he's currently touring with Willie Nelson, who is over 70 and still puts on a great show!
