U.S. News & World Report
September 3, 2008

Overview: “Who says you can't be a rocker after 50, or even 60? Take it from Mick Jagger, who's still touring at 65, or the members of Aerosmith, who are pushing 60 yet have a new album in the works and a headlining role in a new edition of the video game Guitar Hero. And aging rock stars aren't the only ones still jamming: Scores of baby boomers across the country are playing in garage bands, booking gigs, and performing for fun and maybe a little profit.”
