    Paul Kantner = 73
    Charlie Watts = 73
    Grace Slick = 74
    Ray Manzarek = 74
    Ringo Starr = 74
    Daevid Allen = 76

    John Mayall = 80
    Yoko One = 81

    Neil Diamond just announced a tour, and he's 73. He flat-out can't sing anymore, but he's touring!

    And Keith Richards, who has to be at least a hundred or so... maybe 200

    Keith Richards is a special case. I think every time he gets a total blood transfusion his clock restarts -- and some poor little kid dies a husk of dried skin.

    Interesting. My mom just turned 70 on Friday(still no grey hairs on her head). She is about two weeks older than Jon Anderson. So now it looks like she is three days older than Robert Lamb. Also, Jimmy Page turned seventy earlier in the year.
