Geezers that Rock

Time and tide may wait for no man, but that's no reason to throw in the towel. So what if your hair's getting a little thin or a little gray, your back aches and you need reading glasses? Don't give up and don't give in to your inevitable decline. Yes, it's inevitable. You're on a path straight downhill. Fast. But cheer up! Because you can still rock.

In an inspirational new GA feature, Geezers that Rock, I am going to bring you icons of rock-n-roll that you thought were dead or at least wheeling around in a Palm Beach nursing home, toothless and eating porridge, waxing nostalgiac over their long-past glory days. NOT. These geezers are still working it, working it hard, and are just as good as they ever were.

So if they can do it, so can you.

Now, for GA's first featured rock-n-roll geezer- Ted Nugent.

I know, he's nuttier than a Snickers bar, more right-wingy than a Superbowl party platter, likes to kill things with his Glock, champions the right to home ownership of surface-to-air missile launchers, and is just plain obnoxious.

But he's a geezer- 62, and still rocks. You don't have to like the guy to acknowledge that. Well, I don't.

This clip is from a 2008 concert in Nugent's hometown of Detroit, Michigan. The bald fella is Nugent's guitar teacher from the 1950's- Derek St. Holmes, also the band's original vocalist.

Bald guys out there: well? And you thought after deforestation, it was all over for you. How wrong you were.
