Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood..

[hampsteadclaret]

Ronnie was 70 yesterday and Charlie Watts celebrates his 75th birthday today...full marks to the Stones for longevity and a fantastic career and back catalogue.

I know that some people take the mickey out of them these days..I take the opposite view really, they're a lesson for all of us, if you like doing something and you're pretty good at it, then keep going keep playing, you're a long time dead.

This is the Stones [featuring Mick Taylor] at Glastonbury, 2013 - 'Satisfaction'

A mate of mine went to see them in Paris on their Voodoo Lounge Tour, in the mid-'90s. He said he wanted to see them before one of them died.

Two decades + later.....

But can they play in midfield?

Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards defy the laws of nature by their continued living. I have seen healthier looking cadavers

I remember Mick Jagger saying he did not expect to live until he was 50, when asked what he would do, when all 'this' was over!

Do what he's always done - watch cricket

This an excellent live version of 'Gimme Shelter'..the bloke who put it up there describes it as the best version ever - not sure about that, but it's pretty decent...both Charlie and Ronnie on this.
