Charley Weaver was asked: "If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be?
He thought for a while then replied: "Three days of steady drinking should do it."
Seeing the Rolling Stones halftime show is proof that rock's on life support. Give me R & B or jazz any day; if it's not on radio, I'll find it somewhere.....
Rock n' roll is here to stay.
He is quite a guy.
I wonder R. Emmett may be talking about there.
"The best, the most hard-hitting"......... "let not your heart be troubled"

So, I would imagine, is Keith Richards, even though he's been dead for 12 years.
If you squint and imagine Mick bald it is downright horrifying.

I pray that Michael is correct.
Betcha he wasn't moving so well the next day, though!
Rock and roll died when MTV first came on the air, August 1st 1981. That`s when sight replaced sound as the most important thing in the music biz. August 1st 1981 is the beginning of something I call the "music holocaust" and it goes on to this day.
What a picture of Mick! He hasn't had plastic surgery/botox treatments, it appears.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you’re gone, you can’t come back
When you’re out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten
Is this the story of johnny rotten?
It’s better to burn out ’cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It’s better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you’re gone, you can never come back
When you’re out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten
This is the story of a johnny rotten
It’s better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Actually it died when they killed Headbanger's Ball, 120 Minutes, and put Yo! MTV Raps on for 23.5 hours, and the rest of that time was devoted to goofy shows like Real World.
MTV2 is just becoming another clone, VH-1 is following in that trend, no doubt the other spin offs of VH-1 and MTV will follow suit.
Poor Eddie looks like he just jumped up out of a grave.
"RARRGH...BRAINS!!!"
I highly doubt it. The guy works out hard every day.

The diet, exercise and fitness regimen of Mick Jagger puts to shame the efforts of most 25 year olds - not to mention the mostly 55-60 year olds

The unbelievable Jagger, 62, pranced and skipped almost non-stop across the Philips stage, flailing his arms, waving his hands and skimming across the floor on his spindly legs like a practiced ballerina.
The group opened with the classic “Jumping Jack Flash” and raced through most hits familiar to baby boomers who’ve grown old with Jagger, reed-thin Keith Richards and Charlie Watts. The Brits, accompanied on both sides by a host of singers, never stopped moving, and neither did the crowd, which undulated like a giant snake, most fans waving their arms and clapping their hands almost continuously.
Jagger, dressed in his trademark skin-tight black outfit, showed no signs of weariness from his appearance at halftime at the Super Bowl just a few days ago. Rather, he seemed invigorated with each new round of thunderous applause.
Richards, puffing on cigarettes, spelled Jagger twice during the non-stop concert, which started a little after 9:30 p.m. — an hour late — and ended two hours later.
Jagger didn’t even appear to sweat, though the hot lights had thousands fanning themselves in front of him. Hundreds took pictures of Jagger and other band members with cellphone cameras.
