I am an elderly (their age) retired Rock musician and don’t really know how they can continue. I’m so bloody tired and burned out......I ain’t goin’ on stage. I even have nightmares about that.
Huzzah to the Stones. They’ve earned their accolades. So have I; I just don’t have a name that anyone knows. Oh well. Huzzah to ME too. Heh.
From the article: Their last global tour, "A Bigger Bang," earned more than $500 million between 2005 and 2007."
Perhaps that sheds a little light on the matter. :-)
That said, I'll be 54 tomorrow, just started playing in a band a year ago to scratch another item off my bucket list and I'm already getting sick of it. Part of the problem is that my wife insists that she's the only groupie I'm allowed to have. WTF?!
