I was so astonished to realize that he was 40. I thought that was really old. Now, as I myself approach 50, I don't think of it as so old.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-57596175722185074302008-07-28T14:05:00.000-05:002008-07-28T14:05:00.000-05:00Thanks y'all for the comments!WM/Mark -- I saw the...Thanks y'all for the comments!<BR/><BR/>WM/Mark -- I saw the Stones at Greensboro and Hampton and '78 and last time ca. '97 at the Palace, which was the last giant venue I've been to (I like smaller ones, and pick very carefully and rarely these days). <BR/><BR/>Jim, he seems pretty fit, indeed. Compare with The Ramones! <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks all!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-44070438122608858262008-07-28T11:58:00.000-05:002008-07-28T11:58:00.000-05:00I really wish that I had had the chance to see the...I really wish that I had had the chance to see the Stones when they were younger.<BR/><BR/>For various sentimental reasons, Wild Horses is my favorite Stones song.luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468418041443316689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-27602679177808640942008-07-27T22:09:00.000-05:002008-07-27T22:09:00.000-05:00My mother-in-law and I were discussing MJ not long...My mother-in-law and I were discussing MJ not long ago. She thinks his rock-n-roll environment will surely shorten his life. I, on the other hand, think he's fit as a fiddle and will live much much longer.

I can't believe the Mickster's 65, but then again, to look at the Floyd boys lately, you'd almost wonder what the hell's happened to them!
