No way ! The stones used to rock.

Sunday night was just pathetic...and Mick Jagger was winded most of the time, in addition to being out of rhythm and out of scale. After about 30 seconds or so, I couldn't take it any longer, and had to walk away.

I think that they always sucked by any real measure of quality. What really made the stones work for me was style; which is completely legitimate in the world of Rock music. I mean, could Jagger ever hold a candle to someone like Freddy Mercury, or Robert Plant, or Morrison, to name a few, in vocal quality?

And I thought he did great. If you were to randomly select one-hundred, sixty-three year old men, I seriously doubt that many would be able to do what Jagger did. Also, note that I never said that he was good. :biggrin:

His athleticism at 63 is fairly impressive, whether or not the performance was. Then again, my girlfriend's dad is only a year younger and routinely beats me at racquetball. More with positioning, though. I'm thankfully more athletic than any 60 year-olds I know of and hopefully will remain that way.
