Bro C-H--Can I agree with you more than 100%? Because I will do so. If an artist has no more to say or hasn't the ability to say stuff, what is it about their egos that won't let them go to emeritus status? Or hands-on consultancy? It's a bit easier on the jazz side--Toots Thielmans and Clark Terry played effectively into their late 80's but neither had the daily grind or writing/performing pressure either. "The same thing that takes you up can take you down." Dunno who said that but it's true.
A man accustomed to hear only the echo of his own sentiments, soon bars all the common avenues of delight, and has no part in the general gratification of mankind--Dr. Johnson
