| Middle
Age Rocks! |
Reuters reports: Middle-aged musicians who
have neither burned out nor faded away -- yet may be some years past their
creative peaks -- are pulling in the real money in today's topsy-turvy
music industry.
In the young person's game that is popular
music, the top of Rolling Stone magazine's 2004 money list is dominated
by artists of a certain age like Metallica and Rod Stewart.
They may not produce as many chart-topping
songs as they once did, but with album sales flagging due to Internet piracy
and competition from other entertainment outlets, they pull in revenue
streams from merchandise, concerts and books.
To find a group on Rolling Stone's list
that has been around for less than 10 years, you have to go down to Linkin
Park at No. 9. [see full story for more]- Click
