Just watching the half-time show, featuring The Rolling Stones. I've always enjoyed their music - it's a lot of fun. Been to a concert once, but I wouldn't call myself a diehard fan.
As I watched, I couldn't help but wonder where he gets all that energy... He's in his 60s right? I consider myself a fairly high energy person, and I was exhausted just watching him.
But then I also noticed - his movements were a little odd - legs not bending quite normally. He wasn't pronouncing his words the way I'm used to. He sounded like his voice changed with a weird accent. I heard "I twied..." quite a bit.
This all led me to the question (and I certainly don't know the answer...) Why are they still up there? Are they trying to make a point? Is it the attention? the fans? the money? (They must have enough of that...) Do they love it? Do they look forward to the shows they do?
I guess if people are still listening, they'll still play. Somebody invited them to play at the Super Bowl. People are still screaming, yelling and bouncing up and down as they play. I wonder when they'll call it quits.
I wonder if my girls (as teenagers) will ask, "Who are The Rolling Stones"?

I just hope that your girls (in high school) aren't going to see them in concert! But I'm sure our parents didn't think we would be able to see them in concert once we reached adulthood, so who knows?
Glad to see a new post. But don't you have company? Get off the computer!
:O)
p.s. do we have an early release day this week?
