Sweatered, white-haired Charlie Watts resembled Whistler's Mother while Keith Richards and Ron Wood again proudly looked like hell.
That left a chipper, decently preserved Mick Jagger to carry most of the ball Tuesday during a satellite interview tied to HBO's live Jan. 18 presentation of a Rolling Stones concert from Madison Square Garden.

Not that any of the boys had much interest in the task. Seated in swivel chairs on a concert stage in Montreal, they granted HBO a bare 10 minutes of whatever time they had left. Some of their chatter was unintelligible. But Richards' death-defying nicotine cackle occasionally spoke volumes while the 61-year-old Watts apparently said "yes" once.
"He's not even tryin'!" Richards said with all due affection.
They did seem to be enjoying themselves in their 40th bumpy year as the oft-described "world's greatest rock 'n' roll band."
"We've gotten used to each other's company," said Jagger, who turns 60 in July.
"It's just too good to let go," said the ever-decomposing Richards, who against all odds hopes to be 60 in December.
Wood, the kid of the quartet at 55, compared the Stones to a dedicated "fighting unit."
"Keith would have been great in the Army, and that's where he is now," Wood added.
Jagger said that "good luck" and "being there at the right time in the right place" had helped the band to remain mostly intact. Charter Stone Brian Jones drowned in 1969 and was replaced for a time by Mick Taylor before Wood entered the picture in 1975. Only bassist Bill Wyman, 66, has given up the ghost, and there's no chance he'll ever tour with the band again, Jagger said.
"He could come back as a funeral director," Richards suggested.
The session opened with a shopworn question on Jagger's oft-recycled comment that he couldn't imagine himself singing "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" as a 30-year-old.
"An age question to start with," Jagger said resignedly before his mates had a good chortle -save for Watts.
"All the milestones have passed and been surpassed," Jagger then surmised. "So we're creating a few new ones."
The Rolling Stones play at 7:30 p.m at Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

No words from Charlie Watts are worth a thousand from pretty much anyone else. |
