Not to be a downer or anything I mean good for anyone still doing what they love into the twilight years, but if they arent actually any good at it any more, I think its just as commendable to walk away before that happens.

Yeah I know what you mean. It's like professional athletes, in a way. Well.... not really 'cause athletes, especially in team sports, can actually hurt the team by staying on too long. In music I wonder if the singing is the first thing to go. However it's admirable if someone like Jagger can still have even part of the energy he used to have, given his age and his health issues. I must be incredibly hard to let go.
