Recently I read an article online (can't remember where) but the gist of he article was to prepare oneself for a steady stream of rock and rollers to start passing on because so many of them were in their late 60's and into their 70's.

With that, I don't know about others, but the future of traditional rock and roll concerns me, especially in how it is delivered to listeners.  It seems like such a contradiction that in our present times, there are so many delivery systems available and so much good music out there, but sometimes it seems so hard to find, especially with the "market" pushing toward so much electronically equipment produced "music."  On top of that, music literature is so limited in today's world (I mean in the form of magazines).  Rolling Stone is nothing what it once was, nor is the coverage.  It now seem geared so much to this current crap of "popular" music and only throws in morsels to us aging rockers in both music coverage and current times coverage.  God, Spin magazine and Rolling Stone used to chock full of information, now of course, Spin is long gone and RS is more like an ad for commerce. 

It is also concerning to me when it comes to developing a following of younger rockers like I've done with people like Young, Mellencamp, Springsteen and so many of the classic rockers that are now quite aged.  

It's like how powerful the deaths of people like Petty and Ocasek were to me.  I followed their journey from start to finish and shit, I'm 55, so how does that work nowadays?
