Rock ‘n Roll Will Never Die, Just go to Japan

In Japan, derivitive fanatacism with American popular
culture has combined with an age-oldl honoring of old age
to make the place a sort
of "elephants burial ground" for the pop giants of yesteryear, know in
the trade as Rock Dinosaurs.

"Neil Young once sang, "It’s better to burn out than to fade
away." With
all due deference to Mr. Young, the Japanese taste for aging foreign
rock stars suggests that some things improve with age."
