The Rolling Stones are so old, their latest tour’s being sponsored by a retirement fund While clearly cleverly executed, this is not a joke. The Stones are celebrating their 1 millionth year as a band together by going on tour, and they’re running with the perfect sole sponsor to promote it: the Alliance of Lifetime Income. That’s right, The New York Times reports that the wild child of rock in the 1960s and ’70s is going on a North American tour with a trade association that sells retirement annuities. Time is not on their side Not the kind of partnership you’d expect from the bluesy bad boys of Britain, but the Stones -- all of whom are over 70 -- aren’t exactly painting it black these days. The “Lifetime Income Tour” was already postponed once due to Mick Jagger’s heart surgery for Pete's sake. At this point, with the future of Social Security uncertain in the US, a tour with an investment fund that provides an income stream to the retiring rockers of the world could be more on brand with their demographic than “Exile on Main Street.” Define ‘Wild Horses’ Some critics are against a private company like the Alliance of Lifetime Income swooping in to supplement a cheaper government fund. But you can’t always get what you want. Though, according to the Alliance’s website -- “You can get what you need, when you have an annuity.” In a weird way, the Stones may have just come full circle with their rebellious days of selling cigarettes, alcohol, and sports cars.
Loved their music way back when, still like to give it a listen every now and again, brings back good memories. As for seeing them or any of these other rock & roll dinosaurs from the 60's in concert...not a chance. It's really quite pathetic to watch. The stage is for the young.
You and Elderado should get your 8tracks together and cook up some chicken pot pies and light up a good mexi dirt weed doobie and celebrate. You 2 shitbags are depressing.
What's depressing? TRUTH. https://www.nme.com/news/music/john-lydon-trump-sex-pistols-2029330 You want to spend your dough on Mick Jagger's non-stop offspring's financial health, go right on ahead. If he wants me to pay to watch him strut, I'll consider it.

These young kids today! They need to start thinking very hard about what kind of world they will leave behind for me, Willie Nelson, and Keith Richards.
