Like over 90% of music artists are far-left. Like....not just liberal but REALLY far-left.

It’s the cool thing for celeb to be apparently.

LOL!
That's your response to a valid question? Do you submit your posts from a mental health care facility or are you just a rotten old hag who hates the world?

Richards is aware of the jokes about his longevity. I was watching a bio of Brian Jones and Richards said something to the effect “he was drinking to excess and non-stop drugs made me just know he wasn’t going to ever be 70.” then he paused and laughed. “As if I’m one to talk. But I’m still here at least!”

Keith Richards is going to be mighty lonely.

No, the younger Mick Taylor will be at his side as they try to outperform each other. What a glorious sound they drove each other to produce.

Keith Richards reference in the first reply!

Well done!

I’m with you.

I’m not going to mourn people I’ve never met before in my life and have no connection to.

They die just like everyone else and it’s no greater loss to humanity than anyone else who dies.

I have a chance to see The Who next week. The tickets are pricey, but I keep thinking it may be the last tour they’ll ever do.

The Who have been doing farewell tours since 1982, mostly because John Entwistle kept running out of money. Another "Farewell Tour" was necessary to replenish his bank account. But he's been dead for some time now. Guess Pete and Roger don't know what else to do with their time. Playing live is all they can remember.

Take a bow - pucker up and kiss your ass goodbye.

Death - the great equalizer

Sammy Hagar must have some great genes. It’s like he never ages. Roger Daltry is another one. Also Ozzy Osborne, oddly enough.

That he and his Dad were both boxers doesn't hurt. ;-)

What’s the point of this article? Forty years ago, commentators were saying they’d all be dead in ten years.

You’re funny, that’s all. I love it when freepers get all self-righteous over nothing!
