Years ago Letterman did a Top Ten List about an upcoming Stones tour.One of the ten was "Hey,You,Get Off Of My Barcolounger".

The Stones were just about the best around in the 60s...but they ran out of ideas in the early 70s.They should have taken some advice from The Who: "hope I die before I get old".

The sight of guys prancing around the stage in Depends is one I just can't stomach.Rock & Roll is meant to be performed by the young.

"Rock & Roll is meant to be performed by the young."

There was a time when Mick Jagger agreed with you. I remember an interview from the early days when he said he didn't want to be playing rock'n'roll when he was in his 60s; he thought it would be undignified and embarrassing.

The Stones were amazing in the 60s, 70s.

They were starting to get long in the tooth in the 80s.

I didn't care for anything after maybe black and blue came out?

That being said, early Stones is truly amazing, and I can understand why they are, even in their 80s, still pulling in huge crowds.

I would have paid any money to see them 40 years ago but now, meh.

I’ve seen the Stones several times. The last being 3 or 4 years ago in Orlando. They sounded better than they ever had.

Depends on the type of rock n roll.

Guns N Roses was a YOUNG, ANGRY band. I loved them in my late teens and even early 20s.

I still enjoy listening to them but I won’t pay several hundred dollars to see them.

They ain’t young and angry anymore. More like old and ornery :)

The Beatles’ softer rock can be played at any age and enjoyed.

But overall I agree. Rock n Roll is full of young angst and rebellion against whatever.

Doesn’t have the same appeal when the players are older than the people they are rebelling against :)

They should have taken some advice from The Who: "hope I die before I get old".

I really wish The Who took their own advice.

The Stones could just retire and count their money.

The Stones were just about the best around in the 60s...but they ran out of ideas in the early 70s. They should have taken some advice from The Who: "hope I die before I get old".

They ran out of ideas around July 2, 1969, when Brian Jones was murdered.

Wow. You’re going WAY back, when Letterman was occasionally funny.

[FamiliarFace]

There are still a few young rock and roll bands out there. Dancing and prancing and putting on a great show. Largely undiscovered, but starting to be seen and heard. Don’t give up. There will be a resurgence of rock and roll with the new kids. Kinda like the clothing styles come back after many years. I don’t think rock and roll is dead yet.

“Years ago, Letterman did a Top 10 List...”

LOL. Didnt see that, but I remember Leno did a funny bit where he sent Mick a membership to AARP for his 50th birthday.
Gee whizz, that was 25 years ago.
