Stoned.

The Rolling Stones announced a new world tour and performed a mini-concert for fans gathered outside New York’s Juilliard School.

Certain songs have been updated given that Mick Jagger and crew are now in their sixties. The opening song, for example, was a rousing version of “Hey (Hey) You (You) Get Off of My Lawn.”

OOooo - are they going to do “Stand Up Too Quickly and Get a Head Rush Jack Flash, I Have Gas, Gas, Gas!”?  I LOVE that one.

Nice one, CW!

I’m sorry but I believe once you reach a certain age, a sense of decorum is required. (I AM of that age.) Mick Jagger needs to quit acting like that! It just looks silly!

the rolling stones - bringing the raw power of youthful defiance to convalescent hospitals nationwide.  next step: performing at a water aerobics class.  “Brown Sugar” has been replaced by Splenda and food coloring out of deference to the vast legions of type-2 diabetics in their fan base.

you’re so damn funny.

I thinks it’s cool they’re out there. They seem really fit, just a little old looking. It’s likely due to a lack of face lifts and botox.

Great...Now I’m going to have that version of the song stuck in my head.  All.  Day.  Thanks!

Isn’t that Billy Ocean?

more geriatric versions of Stones songs:

Time is no longer on my side
(I’m just) waiting on a bus
Grandmother’s little helper
Sympathy for Matlock
Recliner Jack Flash
(a laxative will bring you) Satisfaction

The difference is now they don’t have Hell’s Angels body guarding for them, but the Gray Panthers. 

Unscrupulous insurance salesman stand outside mosh pits selling broken hip insurance. And Mick will now use a motorized scooter to race back and forth across the stage.

do the concerts have insurance? I mean, for one thing if I BUY a ticket and one (or all of them) croaks, I want my money back. Similarly, if my grandma is rocking out and cracks a hip or something, are the RS gonna take care of her??

Heh heh heh..I think Mick Jagger is just too jowly.  Yet he still gets all the girls.  It’s a strange world.

The Stones are pitiful.  It is possible to continue to be great as you age - but it takes some kind of growth and these guys are stuck in time.  They are just embarrassing.
