Will the Rolling Stones still be recording & touring when they're 74?

That's just a few years from now, isn't it? :) I wouldn't be surprised if they are.

I saw the Stones live a few years ago and they still got it done, I do have to admit. I think it's great that they are still doing what they love at any age.

The whole thing that people are supposed to do this or that at any particular age really ruffles my feathers. I say so what? Good for them.

you mean they aren't 74 yet?

for the sake of rock'n'roll...yeah!!

I think that would be called the Steel Wheelchair tour, wouldn't it?;)

Yeah, baby!

One would hope not. The quality of music they've released has slowly declined since the sixties, and it can only get worse.

Going on their current form I would reckon yes!
I think they would have to be wheeled out onto stage though.

Maybe. I'm worried that either Keith or Ronnie is going to get RPS or arthritis or something similar and not be able to play anymore. Or maybe they'll realize that they each have enough money to buy a small country, and retire.

Yes the rolling stones will be recording and writing music. though they are with out question the greatest rock and roll band in the world. It must be understood that age is a fact of life, but in saying that it must be understood that 74 is a relative age for in some countries the average age for men in banledesh is 36 years old, so the comparison is that people in the western world stay young longer you don't stay old longer its' that the productive years that are alloted have incresed because of diet and better access to health care is in favor of the western world. Hence 25 years ago people in North america was 72 years of age, now this number has increased to 77 years. Now with the baby boomers "1945-1965" starting to retire and will continue to retire for the next 30 years, for this generation was the hippy generation that seen the likes of earth day 38, going green looking after thy self along with the environment. the boomers are the generation that brought forth change for the betterment of the global self. and at this time we are we will see the life expectancy to increase yet again and will do so for the foreseeable future. As for the rolling stones, mick and keith ronny charlie, and bill wyman will continue to record make music entertain fans, and be the bright light that says "Look and me I'm not shattered"
