Kidding.

More seriously, I think it's more that they have set a legacy in music, that they will live on beyond their years. I personally feel the "stars" of today seem to lack true talent as those of the past are, usually basing their "talent" on looks and commercialism.
I have to agree with you. If you look at the Stones now, even though they are burnt out on whatever drugs they had been taking in the past and are into their 60s now, they are still as popular as ever before. They still come out with new CDs and people buy them. For just some reason, I don't see many of todays "stars" achieving that kind of timelessness.

They still can put on a great show, and some people can't appreciate that it was "just a bunch of old guys," as a few people in my chem class put it. I've been to two of their shows recently, and I must say, they sound much better live and in person then they do on TV and CDs, even now. During the superbowl, the music wasn't loud enough compared to Mick Jagger's voice, so it wasn't the best example, but I'd rather see someone who is one of the greats in music then one of todays "stars" who may be forgotten in a few years.
