I must admit that I think the whole rock'n roll scene, Rolling Stones in particular is really childish, and I really don't want to put on one of their albums if I have my girlfriend or any other friends in the same room. It's just so childish music and it's all about sex or drugs, most of it is just a PR stunt, especially what they put out the last 30 years when there's actually no drugs involved in the creating, which is pretty pathetic.
I prefer classical music, which has been made by real musicans; forcing themself to get even more creative as years go by, instead of trying to recreate their past

Not just for the sake of it; there is truth in my statement
Here's the greatest pianoplayer of our lifetime; Grigory Sokolov, playing a Beethoven piece that make the listener actually listen instead of just tapping his foot like a monkey, like Rolling Stones want us to do

What a completely ridiculous statement, have you taken leave of your senses ? I don't know what you do when the Rolling Stones are playing live and on the boil, but I for one LISTEN !!

While clapping your hands and tapping your foot. But let's be honest, there's not much to "listen" to, is it? It's not exactly intellectual sounds coming from the speakers

I'm absorbing the delicious sounds coming off those guitars - especially when the whole band is on the boil.

Which has never happened since 1978, my friend
Anyway you are right, Rolling Stones' music has nothing to do with intelligence, which was my point to begin with, so thanks for agreeing

This line of thinking has all the desperation and insecurity of someone who was recently challenged by someone or something which revealed a deep lack of conviction in their own beliefs and likes, and consequently spun 180 deg. around to the most intellectual form of art they could handle (the pretentious bit about classical).
This is usually seen in 1st or 2nd year college students (mostly philosophy students) who come home on summer leave and begin spouting Nietsche or Plato or as in this case Beethoven (love all these cats by the way), to all the unwashed, un-enlightened "childish" folks back home. Hopefully, the light shines and they then realize the stupidity and immaturity of their holier than though viewpoint and calm down.
And furthermore, yes, striked is moronic, but to then stand by it and dig in when called on it exhibits a particularly strong strain of obstinate cluelessness.

For the most part, yes, but I think it is a good thing to keep as much of the inner child intact as possible through adulthood until the day you die.

I don't hear any difference between classical music and rock music... I listen to both and other genres too. What you mention is rather a prejudice then reality. If you hear such differences you don't listen carefully enough
