I wonder if he uses his walker when he's on stage. Please end the Rollin' Stones... for the Love of Pete!

"What a drag it is getting old."

Mick Jagger circa 1966

He's looking more and more like Don Knotts with each passing day.

And once Glimmer Twin Keith Richards (news) hits the Big 6-0 in December? Watch out.

I guess that old line about Keith Richards and cockroaches surviving nuclear war may be true after all.

I think Mick was pretty cool for the first 10 years or so. But the most recent 30 years have just been embarassing. The guy dances like a decapitated chicken.

And the Stones latest music is still 10 times better than 90% of the crap out today, let alone their classics.

[Paul Atreides]

It's funny, I thought he was 60 years old twenty years ago.

Last Saturday night we went to a concert in the park that featured the "Grass Roots"....What a hoot! One of the primary sponsors of the event was a local hospital whose workers handed out small fans to the audience....

Geez...aging sixties flower children....looked more like a geriatric convention for the local senior citizen homes than a concert.....

However the Grass Roots were pretty good and my kids had fun.....

Richards is 60? Heck, he doesn't look a day over 105...

Hmmmmmmm... yeah I think you're right...lol

Gimme Mick, gimme Mick,
biggest hair, bulging eyes,
lips so thick,
Are you woman , are you man?
I'm your biggest funked up fan,
(repeat)

So rock me,
and roll me,
til I'm sick.

Still the best rock band [the core group, not the stage extras] on the planet when they hit their groove. Maybe that was always the case.

[dandelion]

Who? Are they, like, a boy band or something?

I remember the Grass Roots... I don't remember what songs they sang. I saw a program on PBS awhile back where they had singers from the 50's and 60's. I remember all of them (boomer here) and enjoyed the music. But it was funny to see "whateverhernamewas" that sang "My Boyfriends Back". She had to be in her 60's.

Do you remember the Seeds ("Can't seem to make you mine" and "Pushin too hard")? I saw them a few years ago... these guys were way to old to sing those old songs.

[AppyPappy]

Midnight Confessions was one.

[dandelion]

Ooops, forgot to don my flame-proof jumpsuit... better wear it, I'm too young to die.

[Destructor]

I'll bet "I can't get no satisfaction" has taken on a whole new meaning Mick!

I'm with you on this one...must be a "fly-over" thing! ;)

Seriesly, I haven't heard the "latest" stuff from them, but the Stones certainly were one of the best all-time bands ever, and I have a lot of regard for any "60's/70's phenom players" who are still "in the business" today...they're good musicians, IMHO, and I don't really care how bad they dance!!
