Meanwhile, the iconic New Hampshire symbol in stone, the Old Man On The 
Mountain, continues to crumble and fall. I believe that Arrowsmith's Joe 
Perry has the proper visage at this point to take its place.  He's a NH boy 
too.  Just tie him up to the wall of Franconia Notch and the state's 
license plate symbol will rock on!

That guy makes Keith Richards look like Dorian Gray!

Meanwhile, the iconic New Hampshire symbol in stone, the Old Man On The
Mountain, continues to crumble and fall. I believe that Arrowsmith's Joe
Perry has the proper visage at this point to take its place.&nbsp; He's a
NH boy too.&nbsp; Just tie him up to the wall of Franconia Notch and the

'good-looking and sexy, creases and all&quot;!, but there is something
appealing in the old rocker's wrinkles. They tell many a tale. There's
room for an emerging industry reading the lines on Keith's face. I've got
a seriously used and abused guitar that one guy described as having the
same vibe as 'Keith Richards face.' It was meant and received as the
ultimate compliment. Lived in and survived to sing about it, and all
that. Kind of like your old baseball glove. <br>

Regarding cosmetic slashing and slathering, I suppose Keith could have
taken the same path to new and improved beauty as Michael Jackson (God
forbid) but I know who I'd rather meet in a dark alley...Maybe the
scariest thing about Mannekin Jackson is the emptiness that smites you
when the face speaks. By contrast, Keith seems so completely human, a bit
frayed and burnt, but impishly alive and mirthful - and increasingly so!

<br>
What a strange thread! <br>
<br>
And how has Peter G. managed to stay in such top form at 'turning 50?'
Not only does he look much the same facially, but he seems able to rock
just as manically....an amazing cat for sure. <br>

<dd>I think he is incredibly good-looking and sexy, creases and all.
Maybe it's also the twinkle in his eyes, and the genuine kindness and
down-to-earth quality of the man. Mainly, it's the way he's comfortable
in his own skin, wrinkled though it may be.
<dd>The man is a treasure.
<dd>BTW, Charlie also looks wonderful. But then, he's always been
elegant.
<dd>I think many, if not most, women also become more beautiful as they
age, contrary to popular American opinion...especially if they (we) don't
resort to the knife or slather on makeup with a trowel. 
<dd>If you're basically fairly happy with who you are inside, that really
comes through on the outside. Hopefully, you become more content with and
understanding of yourself as you age ! - it's called growing and
evolving, if you do it right. 
<dd>And if you genuinely like and are interested in other people, it's
amazing how much better-looking you become to them, no matter how old you
are.
<dd>The Oils look just as good to me as they always have - it's not like
I met them when they were callow youths, after all - but have long been
in awe of Peter Garrett, because he just doesn't seem to change. Perhaps
it's because he protects that fair skin from the aging effects of the
sun, or it could be that not having a particular hairstyle doesn't date
him as it does others (mullet, anyone?).
<dd>Either that, or the bloke has a portrait in the attic somewhere that
looks like hell.</font><font face="arial"></font>
