Mark Farner told me that Grand Funk might break up because Don Brewer wanted to work at something more "secure", something that he would be able to do in twenty years. And, since "nobody knows how long a band is going to stay together," Mark said, "it's not that secure."

Remember "Never trust anyone over thirty"? What will happen now that rock and roll, initially a teenage music, closes in on middle age??

Many of our major rock stars are well into their thirties, (you'd be surprised at those in their forties), some of whom you might consider young are nearing thirty, and surely no teenager has come along to sweep us off our feet. (The Bay City Rollers don't count, and they're not all teenagers anyway; teen "idol" Johnny Cougar isn't happening, and he's twenty-four. And whether Australian guitarist Angus Young, who is seventeen and drops his pants onstage, will change our lives remains to be , seen.)
