I say "keep on rockin', guys"...the Stones are from the R&B tradition of 
folks like John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, etc, and those cats kept on 
playing. They've continued to put out good records and put on good shows, so 
carry on lads.

In other genres of music, artists have been performing right up into their 
70s, some (such as Celia Cruz) in their 80s. As long as an artist still has 
the burning desire to write, record, and tour because music is still 
meaningful to them, I say go for it. Don't retire just because some younger 
pups want to edge you out of the spotlight.

I especially have an issue with people who scream for an older artist to 
retire when that artist still records some of the best music out there (ala 
Stevie Nicks and Trouble in Shangri-la, which may be her best solo album 
PERIOD.) Even though a lot of people don't know the song when I sing it at 
karaoke, "Fall From Grace" is becoming one of my "hits" because it's just a 
great song. That was THE most recent song she wrote. It's also one of her 
best.

Stepping off the soapbox,
