The Rolling Stones Are Overrated
Rock and roll is a young person’s game. Nobody proves that better than these wrinkled potatoes. The Rolling Stones haven’t recorded a listenable album since 1981, swear to God. That means they had less than 20 years of a decent run. But after almost 60 years, they still charge people hundreds to watch them trot out “Gimme Shelter.” Give me shelter from these overrated fossils. “Start Me Up”? Try shutting it down. “Waiting on a Friend”? More like waiting for them to end. — Julie K. Bressler.
