What a Drag It is Getting Old

I have to say that the Rolling Stones having their tour actually sponsored by the AARP is so on the nose as to be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

In theory, it might be interesting to see the Stones. And while I have no problem with aging acts, the idea that the Stones are still culturally relevant (which I grant is a meaningless term) after having not really released a good album in my lifetime (OK fine, I was 4 when Some Girls came out, but whatever) really cuts against any desire I really do have to see them, especially given the cost.

But this, I mean c’mon! I am trying to imagine Keith and Mick in 1971 imagining this was their future. Maybe they would see their bank accounts and not give a shit.
