Is it better to burn out, or fade away?

"Hey Hey My My" was from the 70’s, not the 80’s.

I remember that LP, Rust Never Sleeps, it was one of the first LPs I ever bought (1979) when I started buying vinyl instead of 8-tracks. I bought it for the song Powderfinger. I remember that I bought the self titled John Cougar LP on the same trip to the record store for the song I Need A Lover (that won’t drive me crazy) (and I also thought Night Dancing was a pretty cool track). I had just seen John Mellencamp (aka Cougar) open for South Side Johnny And The Asbury Jukes at The Kiel Opera House in St. Louis, and although South Side Johnny didn’t do a whole lot for me, I thought that the John Cougrr show rocked out.

Neither sounds very appealing.

Still, it's probably better to very slowly fade away.

I am with you on that, @inna .  I am happy I am still around.

Your post reminds me of a Letter to the Editor in National Lampoon many years ago.  The "writer" was describing some aspect of heaven and signed it "Jim Jimi Janice and those are just the J's"  Still sticks with me...
