THE FALL OF THEIR YEARS:
SHOULD MUSIC LEGENDS STOP PERFORMING WHEN THEY GET (TOO) OLD?

WHO WE REALLY ARE
Robert Duvall died today. He was 95. I don’t know of any actor (or public figure) who looked pretty much the same as they appeared 64 years ago. Consider this image from the 1962 movie, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” one of Duvall’s first film roles. Add a few wrinkles and sun spots, and this could just as easily be Duvall in his final film scene.

A terrible tragedy happened in Las Vegas yesterday. It was senseless. Stupid. Totally unnecessary.
The result: A dead 11-year-old boy and a murder charge.
The reason: Road rage.
Two drivers got into a dispute. The reasoning, or lack thereof, doesn’t matter. Two cars were driving on a city highway early in the morning. Then, with no warning, something happened between them triggering a back-and-forth clash that ended abruptly when one of the drivers produced a handgun. He fired a shot at the other driver. The bullet blasted through the car window and hit a child who was sitting in the back seat being taken on his way to school. The shooter was later identified and arrested. The boy was pronounced dead.

I won’t pretend to know much about pop music, nor do I have the subject knowledge to write about contemporary artists. Most people of my generation aren’t into the latest hit songs. I’m beyond guilty of ignorance and indifference, as well.
Indeed, how many people over the age of 50 complain that — “today’s music sucks?” When it comes to music, we’ve become our parents — hell, make that our grandparents. I couldn’t name any of the music atop of the charts right now, even if there was a cash reward. If you share this naivete, then please READ ON. I think you’ll get something great out what I’m about to share. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.
