43 years....some interesting thoughts

A few things I've realized now that the Stones have been around now for 43 years or so...
That officially places UNDERCOVER in the first half of their career.
Ronnie Wood has now been a Stone longer than Bill Wyman was.
The amount of time that passed between the last full studio album (Bridges to Babylon) and the new album is roughly equal to the time from Between the Buttons to It’s Only Rock & Roll, which included all the classics such as Beggars’ Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile, etc.
By the time the current tour is over, Daryl Jones’ tenure as bass player will have lasted just about as long as Brian Jones and Mick Taylor’s tenures as Stones combined, and he will have been playing with the Stones for over 1/4 of the band’s career.
