A word about The Rolling Stones!


Image is everything: Was marketing key to success of Rolling ...
The Beatles were the greatest rock band.  Unfortunately, they broke up in 1970 and we've been playing old stuff ever since. 

McCartney had a great solo career. Lennon did OK and was killed just as he was coming back to the charts.  Harrison and Starr had limited solo careers.

The Rolling Stones are a different story. They are still going.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts are still in the band. Bill Wyman retired a couple of years ago. Brian Jones died in 1969. He was replaced by Ron Wood and Mick Taylor.

Bottom line: The Rolling Stones are the longest running band of the rock era.
