It also shows the staying power of music created by people who actually had musical talent. The Stones (and many of their 1960s-1970s counterparts) may not have been very pretty or been able to dance a choreographed routine on stage very well but they could write some great songs!
I watched "Live 8" last July and immediately noticed how well these old rock dinosaurs performed in regards to today's lip-synching, "couldn't play a guitar if my life depended on it" pretty enough for MTV, mass produced pop-tarts and himbos and their bland, bubblegum music. Music today is garbage and will never be remembered.
There are good bands out today but no one will ever know who they are because they aren't pretty boys and can't dance so MTV and the big record companies will never play them.

Sad but true BUMP.
