I think they are proudest of, or should be proudest that in this world they have made so many people happy, made so many people smile, laugh, guffaw, grin, shout with ecstaticness. Be proud of the sheer amount happiness... the sheer amount of joy, good times and great music to dance to the good times to so many people... hundreds of millions of happy Stones fans for so long!

Maybe they'll be proud of their next record and play some songs from it if they ever get around to finishing it - that would be a big accomplishment this late in their career.

I would say not so much their longevity as performers; after all, there are many musicians with extremely long careers, but rather that they were able to overcome a number of serious setbacks, eg, protracted drug abuse, legal problems and conflicts between band members - their resilience and tenacity.

They are actually so proud of this that they put (almost) exactly that it on their stuff

so many accomplishments.
so many great songs, so many tours, concerts, and to perform to the level they have been recently after 56 years is truly outstanding.
I think they also give people belief that they can also have achievements in later life, im 49 myself, had a few recent setbacks but always look to the stones as an inspiration to bounce back, i know a lot of time is behind me, but realizing what the stones can do also tells me i have a lot of time ahead of me too.
I think they have shifted the goalposts in regard defining the word old, some people become old early because they run out of motivation but looking at the stones should be an inspiration to all of us.
