Lyric I m Dead

All these baby-boomer musicians are out there, and no one s leaving the stage. We re able to stick around because there s this big bulge of 52-year-olds in the population. People are still sort of interested in Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan and me. But it s only because there s so many of us. Until we start to die off, there s going to be this giant cloud hanging over the rest of the population. Newsweek will start running articles like, "Is Sex Necessary?" and "Death, The Next Step." I don t know whether artists are going to have 40-year careers in this field habitually. Attention spans are much shorter now.
