You can't be a legend in your parent's basement.
I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.
I wouldn't say rock & roll is dead but the current music made by young people isn't really rock & roll.
The shackles and the chains, the violence and aggression, the pettiness and scorn, the jealousy and hatred, the tempest and discord.
Inside the silence is a melody.
It's easy to get on to something like alcohol or drugs so my advice to musicians is don't lose your perspective because you will waste time in terms of years.
