   Yes, I agree too. The funny thing is, he looked remarkedly young for so many   
   years, and then - it seemed like his got kinda' older looking within a year   
   or two. The aging process is different for everyone, but all things   
   considered - he looks pretty good.   
      
   Hitting the 'brick wall' is how I've heard it described. Just for   
   comparison, there is a famous baseball player named Cal Ripken. He went from   
   young fresh-faced kid to grey / bald / wrinked old appearance in less than   
   five years. He was under the media 'spotlight' so intensely, it's small   
   wonder his exterior physical attributes changed very quickly. I'm no expert   
   (on anything! LOL) but, obviously these pressures affect a person and each   
   person is different. Some get ulcers, nervous disorders, etc...part of the   
   price of fame I suppose. Yet Wilson is 60 years old, hardly a young man by   
   any standard. IMO, he still looks pretty good for a guy rapidly approaching   
   'senior' status - to say nothing of his undiminished musical abilities and   
   his nightmare of a life for so long. I'm simply happy he's alive. Period.
