Recently saw Bob Dylan again. Do he wrote this album three years ago when he was 79, wrote a number of songs since. Now at 82 he is still touring the world. I know there are many older people who remain sharp but Dylan smoked, drank to excess, got lost in herion, LSD and god knows what other drugs.
As someone with a family member with Alzheimer’s it would be great if they could find the key that allows humans to do this. Obviously Dylan has a gift but damn to mentally function at such a high level at 83. Nobel prize winner. True American poet. Does it just come down to genetics?
