Club Kid, 90

Though LES PAUL, a pioneer of the electric guitar, is 90, he has never made AARP's cover. But then, Mr. Paul is hardly retired. He still plays regularly around town and keeps the hours of a club kid. We recently saw him checking out Velvet Revolver, a rock band led by SLASH, the former Guns N' Roses guitarist, at the new Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square.

Mr. Paul shared a table with ACE FREHLEY of the group Kiss (Can a Kiss cover for AARP be far behind?) and the Mets catcher MIKE PIAZZA. The band was very loud and Mr. Paul was adjusting his hearing aid. We asked whether he was turning the volume up or down.

"I was turning them off!" he said.

"I got the hearing aids at Sam Ash," he said, referring to the music store. "They're the JIMI HENDRIX Model. They even come with a wah-wah pedal."

The conversation turned to politics, and Mr. Paul recalled playing for F.D.R. in 1939, taking a presidential request for "Home on the Range."

He refuses to talk politics publicly.

"I played for CLINTON, EISENHOWER, NIXON, CARTER and ROOSEVELT," Mr. Paul said. "I would never get political with them. It does no good for your career to say what you think. It's better to just play."

We asked what he thinks about rap music.

"I don't," he replied.
