Depends on the style of music. Some of the singer/songwriter variety for example, I still think are ok to be continuing on into their elderly years. But something like the Stones, I agree...Jagger lost his ability to actually sing a long time ago imo. Whenever I've heard him in later years it sounds to me like he's just talking the lyrics.

And the type of stage antics he engages in are mostly just an embarrassing spectacle for anyone even over 40...but over 80? Ridiculous.
hey they're currently the third best rolling stones cover band these days.

Really? Rock and Roll? I saw him more as a storyteller. A great storyteller, right up there with Tom T. Certainly not exclusively country but, predominately a country song writer and singer.
My entire post was kind of a compare/contrast thing, comparing John Prine being able to write song relatable to the human condition at any age, and Mick Jagger trying to “rock” when he’s been getting the Senior Discount at McDonalds for 25 years.
Maybe I wasn’t clear.

It’s nice that a geriatric vintage Stones thread got shifted to the guy to hoped to die before he got old.

Now I got that song stuck in my head. I was never really a fan of the Rolling Stones, so whenever I hear/see Jagger mentioned, this is always the first thing to pop to my head:

If I remember correctly, the summer of 2007. I had two tickets for the concert. They were playing in my town. And I sold them to a couple of bikers from Madrid. I like some songs, but that day I decided not to see them live. Don't ask me why.
