Keith Richards, over 45? Wow - you'd never know it to look at him...

as Dave Barry described the band as "a bunch of 60 year old guys who don't look a day over 90 ... except for Keith Richards - who looks like an iguana that has learned to stand on 2 legs and play a guitar

Dear lord,
that man has a face that could wreck a train.

[stm]

All he needs is two crossbones under his chin and he could become a model for pesticide bottles........

While you're at it, can you bar us from the pesky higher tax brackets also?

You Can't always get

Well, I saw her at a Medicare reception,
A glass of prune juice in her hand.
She was leaning up against her walker,
Oh, that silver fox was looking grand.
So I decided to wheel my chair over
Until my painful fingers began to cramp.
I became even more discouraged,
When I couldn't,
NO I couldn't find a stinkin ramp.


You Can't always get where you want.
You Can't always get where you want.
You Can't always get where you want.
Baby boomers you know,
Move slow
To get where they need.


So I went down to the local drug store
To get my fair share of medicine.
I was standing in line with old man Jimmy.
His polyester pants looked really in.
I also needed Metamucil
Out of reach on that shelf top.
Frustrated, I headed for the exit,
Those automatic doors came to a stop.


You Can't always get where you want.
You Can't always get where you want.
You Can't always get where you want.
Baby boomers you know,
Move slow
To get where they need.


When I escaped I headed for the corner.
By then I was really miffed.
I thought I'd catch myself a concert,
But the bus didn't have a freakin lift.
So I decided to have myself a social
And visit the local nursing homes.
Upon arriving I noticed they were empty
Because they all went to see the Stones!


You Can't always get where you want.
You Can't always get where you want.
You Can't always get where you want.
Baby boomers you know,
Move slow
To get where they need.

Completely understandable. Considering they prefer chicks in their late teens and early twenties.

[Edit35]

Maybe the Stones dont want any evil neo-con's watching?

[Baby Driver]

The Rolling Wrinklies, think they can be young again
by having only young people in the audience, so
that they don't see themselves as they stick thier
tounges up in the necks of the Last of the Summers
Wine...

Pathetic old farts....supported by a fan base of
pathetic old loser farts...wh, if they weren't
such old demohippie losers, would be highly
insulted by this ban...But then, t's not like
they haven't allready supplied the Wrinklies
with enough millions to burn their way through
them till they die...without having to give a
rats ass about their fans whove supported their
drunken addict pig lifestyles for the last 50 years.

But you know what? I'll bet there are plenty of 19 year old girls that would "go out" with him in a second.And that says something about the power of fame.

[RexBeach]

The Stones live have ALWAYS sounded dreadful.

I have seen them many times in lots of different venues and they sound like they're all getting the right arms ripped off. I kept waiting for the live shows to get better. They did not.

I wish they would just go away and count their money somewhere.

[najida]

Ohhhhh EEEwwwEEwwwww!

Now I need to go find brain soap! ;)

[MJemison]

Gad! They ALL look like dead crows.

>>An NFL spokesman, however, has defended the decision.

>>He said: "You have to attend rehearsal and be able to stand
>>for long stretches of time.

I'll challenge any of these idiots in a marathon of events any day. To presume that anyone over 45 are weak and unhealthy, is wrong. This has everything to do with getting 'good looking' folks on TV, and nothing more.

I won't be watching the 1/2 time show. They can take their act back to the UK.

[Auntbee]

No kidding. I'm 49 and I go out dancing almost every weekend.

[frgoff]

The detox sessions add up after a while...

[elbucko]

I'm puzzled why anyone would want to watch the Steroid Bowl, let alone these aging druggies.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

He could use an EXTREME MAKEOVER....LOL.

[sgtbono2002]

I never liked the Stones in their hay days. I always thought Mick Jagger looked like an ugly troll from under some bridge, He hasnt gotten any prettier.

I remember once someone asked Fred Astaire why he retired and Astaire admitted he couldnt do what he used to be capable of so why ruin his reputation with a bad performance. Fred knew when his time was up too bad some others dont.

One thing about some women no matter how ugly you get if you have the celebrity and the cash there will always be one willing to accept the cash.

[raccoonradio]

I'm 43 and I like them but am not a big huge fan. Someone made me a copy of A Bigger Bang; it was halfway decent, but the
lyrics of Sweet NeoCon were stuck on stupid.

"...How are THEY gonna get in?"

How are the Rolling Stones' own CHILDREN going to get in?
