Tonight as a group of us sat around and watched the Super Bowl half-time show, we just couldn’t help but comment about Mick Jagger.
How old is he? I’m sure we weren’t the only ones having this conversation tonight. Well, I checked. In July he’ll be 63. Yes…63! He joked that he could have sung the song “Satisfaction” at the first Super Bowl forty years ago. My brother-in-law, being in his mid-twenties, commented that he didn’t know if he could move about and dance like that night after night. He was all over that stage.
I have to admit that I’m not a huge Rolling Stones fan, however I will say that I am impressed by their lack of Adultitis. The guys in that band are dancing examples of how age does not determine our actions. We are as old as we think we are. Even though Mick has qualified for AARP for twelve years, he acts not a day over twenty-one.
We did the same thing! Had to look up his age.. Seems to be keeping pretty active ;)
We were at a party over Christmas at the home of one of my husband’s college buddies. They have this great home theater in their
basement and they put in the DVD of the Rolling Stones concert at
Madison Square Garden. It was a great concert and everyone’s raving
about Mick Jagger up there at age 62, still rockin’ and rollin’. I
couldn’t help but look around the room at the lot of us, either
grey-haired or chemically altered and knew what my 18-year-old’s take
would’ve been: A bunch of geezers watching even older geezers! I also thought looking around, “I’m the youngest looking one here!” Then I decided that everyone in the room probably thought that THEY were the youngest looking one in the room HA!! We’re ALL pathetic :) (or have conquered adultitis!!)
We did the same thing Kim – looked up his age because it was quite impressive how he had the energy of a 21 year old!
