He's way past saving his rock career, and he should be focusing on growing old and what counts at that stage in his life. Either way, some old men are bitter and there is nothing anyone can do about it...
This isn't true, there are a bunch of rock fans and rock bands out there.

He's just sad because he's not relevant anymore.
The only thing that's bad has always been. It's the pop industry. It just got bigger, but that doesn't make other genres smaller.
What a bitter old man who's lost touch with music.
