Nope, they don't look 20-25 anymore...yes, Roger & John both look like they could use an appointment with a razor...but for the most part, I think they all look pretty dang good :)End Quote

OK, I stand corrected!! :) John, Nick and Simon look the best out of the five though. When I was commenting on Duran Duran, I was thinking back to around 1997 or so which was my last memory of them. Back to the recent photo though, Andy looks like another one who's joined the ranks of Liam Gallagher and Johnny Marr in their sort of "Britpop" look. Roger looks severely hungover. :D Not a bad picture, nonetheless! :)

DURAN DURAN aren't as cute as they used to be. (Well, actually, I'll admit I haven't seen any recent pictures of them lately, but there was a time when they were getting old and fat.)

Adam Ant hasn't aged badly, he just SERIOUSLY changed his style of clothing, and he dyed his hair. If you saw him without his glasses on, you would definetly know it was Adam Ant you were looking at. I think he still looks great, he just needs to dye his hair back to his natural color.

Getting back to people who have aged badly...

MARTIN L. GORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look at the luscious picture of him to the left and compare it with what he looks like these days...you can tell that he, unfortunately, has not aged gracefully. Although I think the hair has changed with age, and as long as he doesn't cut it too short at the top or slick it back, he still looks OK. :) I've forgiven him for flattening it. :D

MORRISSEY is another one who really isn't looking good these days. He, too, looks rather paunchy. He's also going bald, which is another bad thing since his hair (like Martin's) was very much a part of his image.

DEBORAH HARRY just looks awful. She just looks so washed up and worn out it isn't funny.

PETER GABRIEL is almost unrecognisable. Completely bald with a white, pointy, devil-like goatee. He's another one who looked really good in the 80's and then just got progressively worse and worse as time went on.

DURAN DURAN aren't as cute as they used to be. (Well, actually, I'll admit I haven't seen any recent pictures of them lately, but there was a time when they were getting old and fat.) John Taylor and Nick Rhodes were my biggest childhood heartthrobs and I was really disappointed to see them losing their looks, as well as seeing Simon LeBon developing a pot-belly.

MIKE SCORE (A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS) looks like a balding, old, fat truck driver. Well noted for his hair in the early 80's, only to have not much of it left these days, at least on top. I think he grew it long.

ROBERT SMITH (THE CURE) also looks rather paunchy these days, and he really needs to update his look. Unfortunately, he's another one I haven't seen any really recent pictures of, but still there's something about a 43-44 year old guy who still wears makeup. And his hair doesn't look like it used to either.

And finally...let's not forget the late MICHAEL HUTCHENCE (INXS). You can't look any worse than dead...

Actually Michael J Fox has Parkensons disease not multiple sclerosis.  Its very unfortunate since he is still rather young to be diagnosed with that condition

Someone also mentioned Larry Hagman.  I believe he had a long bout with cancer but survived.  Going through chemo surely cant help anyones looks.

re. the discussion of Michael J Fox. You might be interested to know that he's written a very good book about his life. It's called Lucky Man. He read it himself on BBC Radio here in the UK and I subsequently bought the book and read it for myself. He's a very, very good writer. If he hadn't gone into acting, I'm sure he could have earned a good living from writing. The book is both funny and moving. He explains that he's lived with Parkinson's for many years and was suffereing quite badly when he was still doing TV shows. However, he uses drugs to control the symptoms (very effectively). These days he frequently appears on TV without medication so that people can appreciate the effects of Parkinsons. Michael campaigns for research into the disease. He has his own foundation: http://www.michaeljfox.org/

When I posted last year about Adam Ant being ill, I was referring to news stories at the time about him struggling with bipolar disorder.  The disease itself does not mess up a person's looks, but some of the medications used to treat it can do a job on you.

My aunt has bipolar disorder and I watched how some of her medications had side effects that caused her to gain weight, loosen her teeth, break out in acne and lots of other things.  Finally, her doctors found medicine that worked well for her and she looks and feels great these days.

I've seen recent pictures of Adam Ant....and I'm not sure about the hair color...but he is looking good still.  :)

Was his hair still as big? Or was it just a big wet, yucky mess? And he's grown a beard?? Oh God, no. He's better clean-shaven! And he should stop wearing makeup, really. He's getting a bit old for the look he had. Has he lost any weight?

RE: Manic-depressive people discussion

I think Morrissey, too, is bipolar. I think it shows in his music, especially in The Smiths. You'd have to be bipolar probably to go from writing songs like "Asleep" and "Unloveable" to wanting to cover a happy, sugary-sweet song like "Golden Lights." :D

A little bit of trivia regarding Mr. Wilder (this is what I've read anyway. Perhaps Tarzan_Boy or someone can correct me if I'm wrong.):

After Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode and the band were looking for someone to fill his place, they had placed an ad looking for a synth player no older than 21 years old. Alan was 22 at the time but lied to get into the band. :) So he was the oldest in the band...which surprised me when I found out because he looked so young!! I clearly thought Andy Fletcher was the oldest...

Quoting:Now Robert Smith, last year on Arvika gig. His hair was not big like in the old times, it wasn't all wet, but it got uglier and uglier throughout the gig, because he got sweat. It's not like he has a beard, but he has that ugly 2 days unshaved beard that do not go so well with make-up. And he had the usual smudged lipstick and dark eyes. Unshaved beard looks flattering on George Michael on Faith era.. but not on Robert Smith. And he seemed huge, didn't lost any weight, i would say he even gained more  ::)

OK, I looked at the picture. Wow, is he ever FAT!!!!!!! His hair doesn't look as bad as I thought. It's sort of even like it was in the "In Between Days" video. But he really either needs to get rid of the stubble or the make up. And give up meat. :D
