Perfect opportunity for me to interject this article from People 8/5/02:

The Beat Goes On and On and On...

Rock and roll will never die...as long as replacement parts are readily 
available.  Exhibit A: Paul Revere & the Raiders, still going strong on the 
summer tour circuit with only one original member, Mr. Revere himself (there 
have been 40 Raiders in four decades).  Other oldies but goodies still on the 
road, with approximate percentage of original members, include:

The Beach Boys, 20%
The Animals, 20%
The Temptations, 20%
The Who, 50%
America, 67%
Creedence Clearwater, 50%
The Pointer Sisters, 50%
Chicago, 58%
Herman's Hermits, 20%
Grand Funk Railroad, 67%
