Mates, I've been re-listening to Bono's award winning audiobook "Surrender" after our hero's recent spate of media appearances. In "Surrender", Bono discusses how his late father Bob suffered from Parkinson's.

Long story short, he looks TERRIBLE. Hes aged 25 years in the past 10 years. He also has noticeable tremours if watch his hands during Rogan.

This footage on how "One" came into existence was filmed less than 10 years ago.



Compare that to today and OMG what happened.



I tried to find the portion of the Rogan interview in which I noticed his hands trembling but couldn't find it, but am sure I saw it several times.

Its very sad, this whole getting old thing. Its why we must follow Bryan Johnson's anti aging protocol in order to stay as youthful as possible as we approach the ability to preserve our bodies in the next 15 years to extend our lives dramatically.

Cut out the drinking, stay out of the sun, sleep well, strain our bodies daily through cardio and weight training, and eat clean and less frequently.

Probably the results of a trapped gerbil.

Hes not that old. Hes almost 20 years younger than Mick Jagger who looks about the same age as Bono does.

Bono had a terrible bike accident in the mid 2000's in which his entire shoulder and arm were repaired. Then he had open heart surgery in the mid 2010's. I suppose two major traumas like that were a big reason for his rapid aging.

Heres the info on Parkinson's, which I hope Bono doesn't have...

quote:

Yes, Parkinson's disease can be hereditary, but it's not the primary cause in most cases. About 10-15% of Parkinson's cases have a family history, indicating a genetic link. Most cases, however, are considered sporadic, meaning they occur without a known genetic cause or family history.

There are also non-Parkinsons causes of essential tremors. I'm very high risk for Parkinsons genetically, so I'm acutely aware to watch out for them.

He was on Rogan a week or two back and sounded as sharp as ever.

Time marches on,

Tom Petty, Sly Stone, Brian Wilson…
A few years ago, the great Charlie Watts.
By no means a complete list. Just some who came to mind
