It's that old "..the sun, the moon and Rolling Stones " thing isn't it.
When you get to our age [coming up 60 in my case] and this band have been around for our entire living memory...

It's both amazing and very wtf!
I wonder how they deep down feel about.

Feels like time gets warped every weekend.

The Stones as a band are just a bit over a year older than I am which I've always found intriguing.
When I was nine, they released Satisfaction.
When I was fourteen", they played Altamont.
When I was 17, they released Goats Head Soup.
When I was 15, they released Some Girls.
When I turned 22, their best records were already behind them.
When I turned 30, I had only seen them live 0ne time (western Springs Auckland).
Now at 63,with 6 shows line up, that number will reach the 6 mark.The last show was front row
And when I turn 65, they might have the new album finished.

Their last #1 LP in the US was TATTOO YOU.
Their last #1 LP in the UK was BLUE AND LONESOME. Before that it was VOODOO LOUNGE. Before that it was EMOTIONAL RESCUE. They had a run of #1 LPs from LET IT BLEED through GOATS HEAD SOUP, whereas in the US they had #1 LPs in a row from STICKY FINGERS through TATTOO YOU.
Their last #1 single in the US was Miss You. In the UK it was Honky Tonk Women, which was the last time they had a #1 in both the US and UK.
38 years since their last US #1 LP.

Rather fabulous how you managed that age reversal from GHS to Some Girls midimannz. Or perhaps Miss You just made you 'feel' younger?

I still think of Ronnie as the new guy. Having been a big fan during his Faces years, I still think of him in that context so that he still doesn't quite seem one of the Stones to me (which is not a criticism of him at all, just a reflection on time playing tricks with my mind. Or something).
