Last week, the great beatnik bard Bob Dylan gave his first interview in three years to AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons' magazine — a peculiar choice until you consider that the AARP publication actually has the largest magazine circulation in the U.S.

The interview proves, if it's even necessary, that at age 73 Dylan remains as cool as ever. Which had us here at Worldcrunch's Paris HQ wondering which international artists over 70 still got it. Paul McCartney? Nah, too cheesy. Little Richard? Too freaky!
