I remember Conan O'Brien doing a Stones joke in the late '90s where he played a really creaky version of Sympathy for the Devil with an old man singing it and showed photos of the Stones artificially and grotesquely aged (except for Charlie...they just showed a normal photo of him, which got a big laugh).Quote

The Stones have been "old" for so long now that a joke on their age isn't that funny anymore; it has Probably fallen in the cliché category by now.

I think that's more about marveling at their longevity than mocking their advanced ages...of course it depends on how it's worded.Quote

Reviewers are still combining their age and try to be funny, but less so than in the 00s.

To the point: I am following them for 30 years, in 1989 some idiots wrote the were too old and should retire.
Many more jokes bsck then. Now its no longer funny, just an old joke. Plus they have aged on stage much better than most groups, playing live no musicians backstage etc. So i agree why bring it up now?Quote

There were also "funny" jokes about the sw tour, renamed the "steel wheelchair tour".
