Fairly predictable stuff but some nice pictures.

Thanks for posting this

That was a cool article.

Kind of a threadjack but... Why is the age of the Rolling Stones always so much of a big deal? Paul McCartney is even older than Mick and Keith and I don't see people talking about his age all the time and cracking jokes about the fact that he's an old man. Same goes for Eric Clapton and other old rockstars from the 60's or the 70's like Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, David Bowie, etc...

Remember when Pete Townshend contributed a lengthy (of course) article (or meditation) to Rolling Stone when Mick turned 40?

Great read, even though we all know that stuff. Thanks for posting it, and yes, really great photos!! What other man has the body of a 21 year old at his age?? I love the face as well!!

Because Jagger's much more physical on stage so it's a 2 fold thing - #1 - when will he give up performing totally? and #2 - When will he be forced to stop leaping about - but still sing live on stage with a lot less movement because his age has finally gotten to him... those other guys you mentioned don't really have to worry about #2.... BTW, it's starting to really look like Bowie has retired 100% so he's kinda gone already.....

The Charlie quote: I thought what he'd actually said was that Mick was the most interesting person(s) he'd ever met.
A subtle difference.

About Bowie:
From what I hear, he is very unhappy with his record company. They won't let him go, so he stopped making albums until he can get free from the record contract in 2012. Let's hope that he makes 3 albums to be released the same day in 2012, to celebrate his release.

BTW: This is just grapewine rumors though.

JumpingKentFlash

As you know Kent these contract things can make a real mess out of established careers - Prince, George Michael, John Fogerty, etc so lets hope it's a fast one on Bowie if this is the case. BTW, thank's for the kind words and support when I had my block problem last week. Appreciate it, Helter.

Bowie: I'm amazed that these guys still sign these contracts though-I suppose the deals in pure monetary terms are better than those which give the artists more "freedom" - but heck, do they really need the money? I can't imagine Macca getting tied up like that anymore

Well, Ron Wood recently had the body of a 19 year old until he checked himself back into rehab.
