Exactly-they are getting older. The band have lived more than 9 lives each. They have outlived many bands in a genre that is, let's face it, fairly insular. It's funk/rock. Hardly original. Kick arse when it's done right but hardly the saviour of music. The added story of Frusciante and his drug problems plus his undeniable guitar playing has given the band a status that may not be deserved. They never saved rock and never intended to.
