grew up on a farm in Waltonlike rural Canada during the depression. It was an instinct. Numbers were sometimes exaggerated. It was an emotional excitement bug. Crowd size and the like.

Gene Simmons is 68
Paul Stanley is 66
Tommy Thayer is 57
Eric Singer is 60

Hardly "in their 90s's.

As someone who is about to turn 60 and I still feel like a young man this is not all that unusual.

But he has no thoughts of stopping. Will keep going as long as he can, at least part time. Typically doing 2-3 gigs a week now.
