The graying of the Facebook population seems to have continued according to new stats released today by iStrategyLabs . And while one might expect more of the site's now nearly 10 million users over the age of 55 to be Neil Young fans, his "Rock N' Roll Will Never Die" refrain seems to be falling through.
