I think artists should have the right to perform and record as long as they are able and people are willing to purchase product. Now whether they should retire is up to personal opinion and there is no right or wrong answer. Personally I think there are a lot of artists that should retire not because I want to take away their right to create as they wish, but because they are ruining their legacy and sometimes it just gets to be plain ol' tacky. Kinda like wearing white in winter or something.

Leon Russell actually had brain surgery to stop leaking fluid, but he has other health problems also.

To be clear, I don't think that artists should just retire at a certain age, that was just the name of this old thread I picked up. I just think that PS's new stuff is crap, that is all I was saying.

You probably would have had a better reaction from others if you'd just started with "I don't like Paul Simon's recent work" instead of "artists should retire after a certain age".
I actually didn't start this thread, I did a search and picked up an old thread that had this title.
