A man I work with, who's about 40, went to see the Stones in DC the other night. He was complaining of being kind of tired, possibly too tired to enjoy the show, as he left to head to MCI. The next day, he was also saying how amazing they are at their age. I have no impulse control, so I said, to this very fit, avid runner father of two: "Oh yeah? They have at least 20 years on you... and you were worried you'd be too tired to sit and watch them. Wow!"
Yes, all of them have [drug] works older than you. Mick has this lovely chrome number from the NHS from the 60's. Nostalgic fellas, the lot of 'em. They have to be really, none can be sure how long thier memories will hold up. I mean after all look at Ozzie... Cheers, 'VJ'
Well..Keith Richard et al have had total blood transfusions over time, particularly during the Sticky Fingers /Exile in Villefranche/Heroin years, so all of those Dr. Feelgood cures must be doing some good.
This isn't age-ism, it's a cold hard fact. There aren't many people that age who have that kind of energy - especially after years of debauchery and drug abuse. Period. I'm giving mad props where props are due.

Snort a couple of fat rails of blow just before getting out under those lights and you'll do just fine.

Canadian Thanksiving = celebration of the harvest. It's earlier than American Thanksgiving because it gets colder a little faster...
