"Nine Old Men" is how the Supreme Court of the United States is often referred to, despite the fact that it includes women. However a recent tidbit in my local paper says we may have to rethink that thinking.

It seems the average age of members on the Supreme Court is 66, while the average age of the Rolling Stones is 68.

Why do I suddenly feel older?

I've known this, for a while, doesn't bother me.

Maybe, because we are older.

The Rolling Stones Incorporated.

A group of old men playing the same old thing for adoring audiences.

While not a real fan of the Stones, I prefer the Beach Boys and Marty Robbins, good music is still good music.

Remember Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Handel, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Et Alia?

Yeah, They Are Older Than The Stones

The Stones will always be older than me. But the fact that I am older than SCOTUS:'( ???
