Like A Rolling Kidney Stone

Mick Jagger is 65 years old today.

In an industry where expedited mortality is an accepted byproduct in exchange for fame, Mick and the Stones have bucked the odds.

And they are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon after signing a long term record deal this past week with Epic Records.

Like time standing still, the lovely lads from London endure.

The New York Dolls are now the Two York Dolls and the Replacements became the Threeplacements many years ago. Rock stars are fleeting, shooting stars. They come, they destroy, fade off and die long before they should.

This is what makes Mick Jagger the quintessential bad-ass that he is.

Happy birthday, Sir Mick.
