Well, if you are talking about the "mania" of the fans especially teenage girls I'm sure you have a valid point.Seems like it repeats itself for every generation. Frank Sinatra in the 40s, Elvis in the 50s, Beatles and all in the 60s, after that I guess you guys will have to tell me!

I was born in 1968 so i haven't experience the born of The Rolling Stones. While i was reading Life i was wandering if the Stones were some kind of a boyband in their time - the sixties. Like maybe Take That in the nineties. (Sorry: i don't mean the musicstyle but just a group of musicians / musicperformers). And now after almost 50 years they still exist. Would or could some kind of modern (boy-)band equalize this?

they had catchy songs, a great sense of humour and were definitely something very different and new. However - they didn't last long.

Yes, targeted at the growing gay community in the disco era. They also had some appeal to the non gay market, because they had catchy songs, a great sense of humour and were definitely something very different and new. However - they didn't last long. (Are they still alive? I think I heard something about some of them being hiv positive? Could be wrong, though.)

There is a current version of Village People still around.
I'll be saving my money for the next Stones tour, though.
