wow, happy birthday jeff !
your age is as much of an obstacle as you want to make it, i think you know the answer to your question.......
Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. Of course the only Lou Reed album I really listen to is "Berlin" from 1973, but he's still got an intensity and passion for what he does. And I don't even own an Iggy Pop CD, but his live television performances are insane.
not to mention wire (bruce gilbert is almost 60), todd rundgren (his new album is amazing), crispy ambulance, killing joke, chris whitley, michael gira... all of these people are well over 40 and are still making great music.
Oh, and Neil Young.
Happy late b-day, Jeff.
You know, what the hell is age anyway? Nothing but a number?
If you were prancing aroud in spandex with giant hair like some guy from Whitesnake I would think it a bit ridiculous after like 23!
But you have a class act. Others have mentioned good examples, but also think of Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen. Even Wayne from the Flaming Lips is 44 now and is at the pinnacle of his craft and success.
Keep it up as long as you have something to say and a feeling to get across. Not much music is ageless, but Idaho is for the ages.
a good bunch of us had dinner at the chateaux marmont hotel.
how did you celebrate Jeff?
Happy (belated) Birthday.
Johnny Cash is one answer to your question in post #1.
You (and the boys (and occaisional girl))produce the most emotionally pure music "out there", IMO.
Another thought to your question - isn't Bob Mould over 40?
Sure, but you'll be forced to play music with kids and ghosts ;)
ditto
happy belated birthday. :)
Happy Birthday. I'm over 40, and I feel fine.
Happy Birthday. I'm over 40 and I feel fine.
Whoops, did I already post this?
Jeff, happy birthday eventhough a day late, another marker i guess huh? I hear life gets better after 40, so........
So how was it? Tell us a story.
good advice
Happy B-day!!!!!
Happy birthday jeff. I think yr present to yourself this year should be finishing the new IDAHO record... and if yr feeling really generous towards yourself, how about the IDAHO dvd.
Dude, I had no idea you were 40! You really do look a lot younger.
Jesus you're old.... kidding. Lookin good for yer age, mr. martin. Please take a cue from Daniel Lanois and continue to make excellent records. Heppy Birthday!
Happy birthday you old bat
Lordy lordy, look who's 40!
Happy Bday Jeff.
Remember, it's not how old you are, it's how old you look!
P.S. - define "rock n roll records"
Happy birthday, Jeff!
Nope, it's lounge tours, Engelbert Humperdink, and Liberace gowns for you from now on. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. You could always start planning for your comeback record, after you've spent a decade in Vegas and five or so years in a log cabin studying Bhuddism in the Appalachians.
Whatever, have a fine birthday. here's to many more trips around the sun for you, and much more subli,me and beautiful music for the rest of us.
Happy Birthday...
im 4o today.........is it still ok for me to make rock n roll records?
