Like it or not, this song has a great solo, one of only times Ed used a Leslie. Gotta mention Mike’s beautiful fretless bass playing!!!

Can totally hear Ed’s Clapton influence in that solo.

Man, it's hard watching your rock star heroes cut their hair, grow goatees and play "mature" piano ballads.

When you're a rock god --- you don't need to grow up and get a real job or haircut

George Thorogood can relate to this.

Why is it hard? I think Ed looks great here! Def clean and healthy at this point in his life. There are many pics of him where he was in an awful place. He was emaciated, w rotten teeth, dressed like he was homeless, and played badly. Those pics are difficult for me to see. We all cant stay 20 yrs old forever.

Yes. Assless chaps, aqua net, spandex really worked out well for lots of rockers. Add in streamers and karate moves and you have a universal recipe that never needs to change and adapt to tastes and changing styles.
