Heartland

At least according to The Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/52 ... l-bad.html

Bruno Brooks, Julie Birchill, Simon Le Bon, Kate Bush, Morrissey, Prince, Paul Weller, Madonna and Michael Jackson all turned 50 -- and so does Andrew Eldritch (if he hasn't already).

Will The Sisters still be performing when Eldritch is 60?

I hear they will stop when Ben has to start dyeing his hair.

Hasn't he been doing that already?

And you, OnlineSince1984, how old are you and what do you think you'll be doing in ten years' time?

40 years old, blimey, hasn't that flown by.

In ten years time I will still be online, like I was in 1984 and have been ever since. Prolly still listen to Sisters tunes occasionally. Still fancy pretty goth girls. So ... same as, same as.

Slip of the keyboard ... and was influenced by The Telegraph article being open in adjacent Chrome window.

Robert Smith and Andrew Eldritch both 50. Wow, just, wow.

...and That Guitarist as well? *ducks and covers*

EDIT: Oh, seems it was last year... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Hussey I have a feeling I've read he was born in 1959 as well though. Ah well..

that made my day

50? been there, done that

Mr Cohen's still the coolest man alive. At 75.

mr. kilmister (thats lemmy to you at the back) is approaching retirement age...can't see it happening myself, not when you consider his personal philosophy that giving things up is bad for you. a shining example to us all.

I thought being 50 is a reason to party rather than to mourn ...

And as to Mr. Kilmister ... he's done 60 , so what ...

James Osterberg is 62 as well

yeah but iggy stopped doing persian rugs ages ago.
