1. What amazes me most, as a person who was in my teens when the Stones first entered the world

and who always loved their music every time it came out is: My god, why them? Aren't there any other fabulous musicians to do this now?

Why is the world always looking back to that particular time in music?

Well, bless them all.

2. Jagger sure has a lot of energy for a guy who's almost 73.

Watts and Richards look absolutely ancient.
