Regarding the writer of this news blurb, all I can say to them is "What a drag it is getting old."

Thanks Irix for posting it.
I have to say that the article is a lot worse than I thought. Not focussing on the music but instead on their age. John Lee Hooker made some of his best albums when he was old, so did Leonard Cohen. Nick Cave still makes great music. Although I am not a fan of David Bowie, he was interesting and creative until the end. Age has nothing to do with it.

The problem with this argument is that the Stones have NOT been creative for the last 15 years or so. Unlike the musicians mentioned above.
Very good point . The old routine is true of us in the audience as well and I will be going to a batch of shows and have no intention of my age dictating that I am to old and if the Stones want to entertain us then I want to be entertained as well . No other group or artist has ever given my the joy and euphoria like these Rolling Stones do and they are old as I am old also . What is the writers point ?Quote

I’m not gonna read the article but tell me if I’m close-The Stones are too old and should hang it up,they’re far from their peak in (fill in the blank year)and are just doing it for money.
The irony of the band still having enough relevance for the writer to dedicate an entire story on them is completely lost on him/her.how’d I do?

I’ll get destroyed for this, but I wouldn’t spend any more money on them either.
I don’t think they should retire or shouldn’t be playing, but they’ve seen enough of my money over the years. Ticket prices are just too much..and they’re happy to stock up the bank accounts. Meet & Greet?? No thanks. In fact I didn’t even bother with the exhibition. Just can’t be bothered anymore.
