Once, again, to borrow from my favorite music book, The Worst Rock 'n Roll Records of All Time, Mick's on-stage performance was characterized as "Marcel Marceau meets Jerry Lewis in a Paris strip joint."
Good to know some things haven't changed over the years.

I always cringe a little at the halftime gig. (reminded of Pf's great line: Does anyone else sort of throw up in their mouths a little bit...)
Here's the question, though: assuming I magically inherited tix to see the Stones in concert (since I would never pay as much as tix cost), would I still cringe?
Is it a question of context or aesthetics? Do I not want to see 60 year old men prancing about at the Superbowl or do I just not want to see 60 year old men prancing about anywhere?

In general, all half time shows suck.
It all started with one bad experience. Remember the lamo 3-D halftime show that really wasn't 3D back 20 years ago? We had to get the glasses from the grocery store and I made my mother go to the store. I was so disappointed.
It hasn't changed. They should go back to marching band. Usually a lot more talent to be seen with a marching band.

i couldn't help noticing his core  he's pretty fit for an old guy. i'm guessing he wears a smaller pants size than i do. i think that's a good thing.

Me too. But still, I bet I could toss him across the room with 1 arm. Scrawny little fugger.
Bet he does pilates.

Well, I don't know about that. You could be 60 but have an ass-kicking prance. Do you?
