I think we old folks can retire to other aspects of life that provide services where needed using skills we "perfected" in our former lives. That may be hard to do in the entertainment business. We all need to check our egos but it is difficult to experience agism. That said our politicians experience the same problems and don't retire.
I tend to agree. Obviously there's tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands or millions of people who still want to hear from him.
If touring is painful at this point and it clearly is, and he wants to continue his career, maybe he does it in another form or on a much more limited basis.
Politicians are an interesting example. I'm a big believer in term limits overall. Our politicians stick around way too long no matter their age and they'll do whatever it takes to hold on to power even if it means corroding the system and inspiring apathy.
