As Pete Townshend said, "don't grow old gracefully, it wouldn't suit you".
Apologies for the paraphrase, it went something like that.

Only if Jagger acts his age, and does not act like he is till 30,40 years old.
and....if he does not put the nasal Voice in, and wants to sing too perfectly.
Only if Keef starts playing music again.
They should play some small gigs again.
So.. i´ll keep dreaming cause it wont ever happen

But you are leaving out the fact that he made Roger sing it. He himself, had no intention of dying before he got old...

Who knows? Maybe Charlie will turn to them one day and say, "I'm not playing Honky Tonk Women no more. I can't hack all these fast numbers."

i had no idea pete felt such animosity toward his bandmate...it's one thing to make funny of a bandmate's genitals...it's quite another to wish him an early death. i used to have respect for pete, for pete's sake, too....

Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is moving gracefully into middle age — his band is often dubbed “dad rock,” a term he finds dignified — but when confronted with the proposition of continuing to rock into his golden years, he see two distinct paths his band could take: the Bruce Springsteen route or the Rolling Stones route.
“It’s probably be a lot easier for us than those guys, you know, there’s more somber balladry in the Wilco catalog,” Tweedy replies. “Springsteen could probably get away with just sitting on a stool playing some ‘Nebraska’ tunes. The Stones haven’t really been allowed to grow old. Their fans demand that they continue to live up to that spectacle all the time."
