When I was in fifth grade, I wrote a short essay for English class on how impressive it was that Mick Jagger kept rockin’ out, even though he was so old.
This was in early 1981.
Mick was 37 years old.
Only slightly more than HALF the age he is now.
Meanwhile, today, I’M watching 37 disappear far off in the rearview mirror.
I was twelve when John Lennon was killed and I remember thinking, well, his career was over anyway, him being 40 and all. :o
They take a lot of heat for the state of their looks - just wrinkled and saggy and old. But you know what? I think it’s awesome that they’re wrinkled and leathery - those are some hard earned lines, because they were LIVIN’ in a way that I am not capable of, and am afraid to.
Good for them!

Could be worse, you could look like him in this pic .
What’s wrong with an apple and bottled water?

The last time I saw the Stones in concert, it was drizzling rain all through the opening act (Pearl Jam) and the intermission. As soon as the Stones took the stage, the rain stopped. Keef pointed at the heavens and said “We’ve got an understanding, right?” And sure enough, it stayed dry until the closing bars of the encore. The dude controls the elements . A few drugs aren’t going to do him in.
He pointed at the HEAVENS? Ummm, I thought their understanding was with Someone Else.
Unless it was raining upwards, he was pointing the right way…
I’ve long thought that if I could tag along Being John Malkovic-style as a spectator in someone’s head, Mick or Keith would be tops.
