Sir Mick celebrates his 60th birthday by promising to keep on rocking into his 70s - Dialy Telegraph (UK)

Sir Mick Jagger celebrated his 60th birthday in Prague last night - by announcing that he will continue performing until he is at least 70.
The Rolling Stones' lead singer told a Slovak newspaper that rock music was still a way of life for him and that he had no intention of quitting. "I will compose, sing and play as long as I can. I hope even in my seventies.
"People have been writing for 30 years now that we are old and exhausted. But there is no other band that would be playing for four decades. We may no longer be the rebels we used to be, but people change and simply stop doing some things."
Asked about whether he should still be performing the role of "rock legend", he said: "You may want to suggest that I am an old man who should be sitting at home in his slippers and watching stupid TV soap operas. No one will see that.
"I said a long time ago that we were a symbol of eternity. Millions of our fans have convinced us of that. We survived numerous music waves in which the thinking and lifestyle of young people was reflected."
Sir Mick has not always been so enthusiastic to continue playing. In an interview in 1970, when he was still in his twenties, he said: "I'd rather be dead than singing Satisfaction when I'm 45."

Great quote and a wonderful bit of defiance. A Birthday present from Mick to all of us. Good on ya,mate.
" A symbol of eternity"....that has a nice ring to it!

What a great attitude.
Rocking until you can't rock no more.
Mick, forever young.

Shawshank Redemption? Haven't seen that movie in while.
Funny how Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon have shut their mouth since the war eh?
Also funny how the DEM 'hopefuls' didn't give praise when Uday and Omar were killed.
Joey will Toronto/Stones on TV or what? |
