About this episode
This episode explores the motivations behind musicians' lives and their struggles with aging and retirement.
Rock and roll may never die, but the way musicians are, you have to ask the question of what it is that drives them to their deaths. This episode I bring to light questions that we all face when we get older and why does it seem that the famous personalities keep going long after retirement age.
