My music heyday started when I was a teenager. At the time I gave the age of these performers no thought at all. I was very surprised to find out how old Alex Harvey was. But if you think about it, you are say 15 and these are accomplished musicians, and it takes tie to get there. If they were in their 30s they were 15 or more years older. So now I am 56, 56 + 15 is getting up there.
Really, back then I never gave their age a single thought. Now we see them dying all over the place, but that is what happens to old people. It is not untimely like when the Big Bopper, Valence and Holly got in that plane wreck. That was before I was born and they would probably all be dead by now anyway.
Like when your Parents die, what is the alternative ? For them to see you die, and you don't want that, that really is hard on someone.
But these old musicians, they certainly were not going to live forever. And with the partying lifestyle most of them had it is surprising how long some of them lived.
