    I don't know how living the life of a rock star wouldn't make even a 30 year old look 80. John Fogerty is 69 and he still looks about 40

    I just ran across this picture of a famous rocker taken in 1973. See if you can guess who he is. He is the guy on the right in the hat playing guitar.

    1. Billy Joel
    2. Bob Dylan
    3. Tom Petty

    I can't rank the others because I think they suck personally.

    1. Dylan -- The only one on the list on the tier with Elvis and The Beatles.
    2. Simon -- Seriously appreciated composer and performer. Near the top of the second tier.
    3. Joel -- Hard to ignore the wide appeal, clear talent and tenacity. Kind of commercial, but really good.
    4. Springsteen -- Near the top of the third tier. Innovative, persistent.
    5. Petty -- near the top of the fourth tier. I don't know . . . maybe the third. His collaboration with Harrison, Dylan, Orbison, Keltner, and Lynne gives him special credibility.

    I don't know how you got that unless you knew Billy Gibbons before he grew his beard or you recognized Dusty Hill.
