DETROIT -- The NFL is letting people over 45 years old decide for themselves whether they're up for the physical challenges of a Rolling Stones halftime show.
The NFL originally had asked for people ages 18 to 45 to be part of the Super Bowl halftime show featuring the Rolling Stones in Detroit on Feb. 5.
The league did not want anyone older than 45 because volunteers will be on their feet a long time.
The Rolling Stones themselves are in their 50s and 60s.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said they wanted to open up the call for volunteers after hearing from some older Stones fans.
LOL
Shades of the Stones concert at Altamont Speedway?
I like much of the Stones' music, but their musical influences never got much limelight or notice. Perhaps if these bluesmen had been from middle-class families, or had the luxury of discarding a college education, or had they looked good in skin tight leather jeans, or been good merchandisers, or made provocative statements instead of just playing music, it might have been different.
Hell look at Jack La Lane pushing 90!
Baby Boomers have changed the social climate since they have been born and we are doing it again only in a Healthy Way unlike the lifestyle of our parents.
Trying to appeal to all age groups?
On tv, I'm sure you're right, but I saw the Stones live (albeit 10 years ago) in Ohio State's horseshoe and the show was fantastic.
Yep.
HAHA..yeah you are correct you know the song..I have known not many but a few junkies in my lifetime..God Bless them now...
"Tattoo You" 'The last great album.' :-)
Anyone so decrepit that they can't walk on and off the field under their own power has no business visiting Detroit at all.
Its a city where you need to know how to run.
Of Course!
