Putting it to bed

I can remember the first time that I saw him with Genesis after Peter Gabriel left the band, and he was dressed in an Olympic gymnast leotard and periodically doing flips off of small angled trampolines that were on either side of the stage. I guess those days are over.
I really disliked it on the Mama tour when he ended the show with a Motown medley. He was into that stuff in his solo material at that time, but it really killed the Genesis vibe. I hope that those days are over too...
He says that he can't play drums anymore, and I believe it, but I think he rode his reputation for quite a while before that happened. Listen to his playing on the first two albums after Peter Gabriel left the band, and compare it to the very basic, heavy handed feel of his playing on Invisible Touch disc. He really lost all nuance in later years.   

sgreg1,
Your outlook is a sad one. Every age has its own charms and troubles. Old age isn't a curse, it's a progression. 

Why? They're spending their own money.

sgreg1,
Surprise! My much loved mother of 9 children also had Parkinson's disease for 7 years before finally dying of its complications, and on Tuesday I suddenly and unexpectedly lost a younger brother (59) due to a fatal heart attack. 
I am well aware of the illnesses of seniors, and I still believe that each year that we are alive is worthwhile. My mother enjoyed life until very close to the end.
For those unfortunate people whose suffering is so severe that enjoyment is no longer possible, I have great sympathy, and I always wish them good painkillers and a quick transition.
In my experience so far, the diminished health and loss of hair and good looks of youth are greatly compensated for by the increased wisdom and understanding of older age.
