   Well, this is the Never-Never Land syndrome.  Baby-boomers
   just don't like to admit they're aging.

   To say anything negative about rock bands is to put oneself
   at risk of being called an old fogey or something worse.  

   They'll sit there and endure that pain just to keep up the
   pretense of being young.  This is really bizarre.  

   It's going to take something like a  promotional campaign
   of sexy young models praising classical music and grimacing
   at the sound of Metallica to reverse this.
