I'm not sure the plastic surgery (or whatever it is) makes him look older. I think being older makes him look older. He's the same age as my dad, and definitely still looks much younger than him (albeit, younger and melted).
There's not many years between these two photos...yet you can see a world of difference. Perry's bad plastic surgery, etc has only added (many) years to his looks. It's pretty sad.
If Perry made good music from 1987 to 1997, that means in 2017 he will have spent twice as much time making terrible music as he did making good music.
I'll bet that's the year he goes in the hall of fame. And the year he gets the most Botox. He'll give his HOF speech looking like an absolutely inhuman plastic monster, then get onstage and sing "cash in now honey..."

There's no way that's not Perry playing Michael Douglas playing Liberace.

Ironic.
I've just started going through the top layers of sediment that make up this collection (I hadn't opened this box in 15 to 20 years) for Fabrizio, and I had printed out this blog entry from a guy who nailed it:
Apparently I'm an Ossified Old Turd

It's official. My youth is dead.
Last night while watching the Braves game, I was bludgeoned by the horror of a Coors commercial set to "Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction. A staple of my youth is now a Coors commercial...'cause Coors is brewed in the mountains of Colorado. Get it?
To the Coors Brewing Company, I say this: rape John Denver's catalog all you want, but leave Jane's Addiction alone. I beg you.
Cash in now, honey
Cash in, Miss Smith
Those lyrics ended up being sort of prophetic, huh?
It sucks badly enough hearing The Stones or The Who used to peddle consumer goods, though they're bands of my parents' generation. It's worse hearing The Clash or Ramones because I hit adolescence when their careers were still rolling, though they'd been around a decade or so. But hearing a Jane's Addiction song in a beer commercial represents a whole new and exquisite variety of hurt. I was way ahead of the curve on that band. I've seen them play in a gymnasium, man.
I should have seen this coming, really. My wife and I went to see them live about a year-and-a-half ago, and we bailed about two-thirds of the way through the show. They'd turned into Motley Crue -- all flash and glitzy smut. Their shows used to be a free-for-all, spontaneous, semi-dangerous because you never knew what kind of weird-ass thing Perry Farrell might do, and the mosh pit could easily degenerate into a skirmish. This last show was an arena event, carefully staged and lighted. It was safe, pre-fab, innocuous rebellion, wrapped in a shiny bow...for the kids...'cause they like to purchase corporate-sponsored anarchy with their parents' hard-earned dough. I felt like I was watching a special presentation by MTV.
If Black Flag or The Butthole Surfers show up in a television ad, I'm going to slit my wrists. I'm not kidding.

Dave has admitted to getting botox on Dark Matter. But he said he only did it a couple times and didn't like the results.
I don't think he is still doing so. You can tell he is starting to look a little older. He's probably got another 5-7 years before he really starts looking like an old guy.
