Legendary boys of the finest caliber.

[Dottore]

It's only Rock 'n Roll, but I like it.

[VaSteve]

Its doubly amazing since so many lesser bands who did far less drugs and wild times lasted/lived far shorter.

Well now we’re respected in society
We don’t worry about the things that we used to be

[GH85Carrera]

I rememer when "I can't get no satisfaction" hit the airwaves my dad was telling me how "that rock & roll like that will never last".

[ramonesfreak]

Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
It's today that's the day of the plunge
Oh the gal I'm to marry
Is a bow-legged sow
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

[72doug2,2S]

It's like a really good marriage where they have great respect and love for each other. And despite their success, their egos never grew so big that they flew away.

Five years of work and 45 years of hanging out and enjoying life. I think this is the kind of band anyone would want to be a part of.

When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake,
Heart is bursting and you butt's gonna break.
Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream,
You feel like murder in the first degree.
Ain't nobody slowing down no way,
Ev'rybody's stepping on their accelerator,
Don't matter where you are,
Ev'rybody's gonna need a ventilator.

50 Rollings Stone years is like 50 dog years. They're actually 350 years old.

[Hawkeye's-911T]

I just started reading Keith Richards' book "Life" - so far - an interesting glimpse into the life of an interesting rocker in a band which has stood the test of time.

Cheers
