  • When do they pack it in?  The Super Bowl half-time show is
    featuring the Rolling Stones, the youngest of whom is 58 years old; the
    combined ages of the four Stones is 246, according to a BBC article.

    OTOH, the article also reports:  "Last year the Rolling Stones broke their own 11-year-old
    record by selling tickets worth $162m (£94m), playing 42 performances
    before 1.2 million people."

    Not bad for a group of four men old enough certainly for membership in
    AARP, and some of whom could conceivably be collecting SS.

    Are they gonna be on stage struttin' their stuff when they're
    75?   I must confess it'd be quaint to hear them sing "Time
    Is On My Side" (they wish!), "Jumping Jack Flash", and "I Can't Get No
    Satisfaction."
