Do you think old rockers should fade away gracefully
Absolutely not, that would be the antithesis of everything rock and roll is meant to stand for. Ideally they should die in a crash, choking on vomit (ideally their own) or from a major dose of cyphalis before their thirtieth birthday but those rare few who manage to survive the debaucheries of their youth should continue to stagger on disgracefully until they shuffle (or possibly wheel) off their mortal coil.
