The Smothers Brothers announced their retirement from touring last night. Here's what the Las Vegas Sun's web site says:
"Those confidantes knew the announcement was coming, and many came from different states to be a part of it. While some were in disbelief — it's difficult to process change after more than 40 decades of consistent performances — the atmosphere was positive, a celebration for what the Brothers feel is a new chapter in their lives."
Wow! They've been performing together for more than 400 years! Who knew?! I'm just surprised that that isn't the lead. I mean, having two brothers both three times older than the previously recorded oldest person--that's your story, not that they're finally retiring.

The Smothers Brothers are a lot older than I thought

Yeah, but it's the last 100 that are the toughest!
Like you've never made a mistake in your life.
let's say they did 6 shows a week for 50 weeks each year...that's 120,000 shows...I'm pretty sure they have that routine down!!!
Pretty sure that was a typo... I think they meant 4 centuries.
Actually, they must be pretty old. I saw them when I was in college, and that was when there were still a few dinosaurs roaming around.
