How old are you, 90? My biggest pet peeve on FreeRepublic is when we disagree with an actor or musician invariably at least 10 people say they never liked their music or acting skills. It's ridiculous. Fine, you don't like them...however, there's no denying they are one of the, if not THE, most successful bands in the history of Rock and Roll.
I'm 51. There is no denying that people listen to crap.
It shows you what an incredible grip the Baby Boomer culture has on America. The Stone were forty years ago. This is analogous to the 1965 Super Bowl halftime featuring Rudy Vallee and Ruth Etting, backed by the Clicquot Club Eskimos. Needless to say, the 1920s culture had nowhere near the grip of the 1960s.I read somewhere they also just set a record on their most recent tour for raking in more money than any other band/act ever.

What I find funny about this story is the reason that the Rolling Stones are playing the halftime show is because of their success. However, the NFL is going to keep off the feild the very fans that have made them a success. The boomers will be replaced with younger, prettier people, some of who probably couldn't distinguish Mick Jagger from Kieth Richards. I actually laughed at this story.
