To the Editor:

Re "Robust Year for Concerts, but With Graying Headliners" (Media Decoder, Jan. 7): There's a lot of talk lately about aging musicians selling out rock concerts despite fears from critics that these artists' profits, like their appeal, will fade away like the color of their hair. But that these "graying headliners," as you call them, are playing to sold-out crowds doesn't really surprise me.

Audience members aren't focusing on the age of the performers on stage or their profits; they are (gasp!) listening to the music.

Music doesn't age as people do. We don't expect music to get a face lift or dye its hair. We allow the chords to sustain us, without compromise or cosmetic enhancement.

We allow the lyrics to whisk us away, as they always have, to another time when not only the performers were young, but we were young, too.
