Who'da Ever Thought Mick Jagger Would Be Left Standing?

Today on his 65th birthday he's old enough now to collect Social Security and one has to admit he's still going strong and is truly a rock god if there is such a thing. It's a shame other greats like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Elvis, Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Ritchie Valens, Jim Croce, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many others weren't able to navigate the too often deadly world of Rock and Roll like the Rolling Stones have minus Brian Jones of coarse.

Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stone that gathers no moss? lol

Not fade away: Rolling Stones singer Jagger turns 65:

Breitbart: "Mick Jagger, the snake-hipped, rubber-lipped frontman of the Rolling Stones, celebrates his 65th birthday Saturday but shows no signs of slowing down, despite officially becoming an old age pensioner.

At an age when most British men are retiring from work and claiming state pensions, Jagger is dating a woman some 25 years his junior -- stylist L'Wren Scott -- counting his millions after the Stones' record-grossing 'Bigger Bang' tour and branching out into film production.

His behaviour may not be as hellraising as that of fellow Stone Ronnie Wood, who last week entered rehab to receive treatment for alcohol abuse after running off with a 19-year-old Russian cocktail waitress.

But Jagger has always been a curious mix of sensible and shocking -- he must be the only cricket-loving knight of the realm whose rumoured antics with a Mars Bar have entered rock legend.

Michael Phillip Jagger was born on July 26, 1943 into a middle-class family in Dartford, south of London, and studied at the prestigious London School of Economics before dropping out to chase success with the Stones.

By the time of the band's first international hit, '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' in 1965, Jagger and his band were a byword for youthful rebellion -- snarling and surly, the complete opposite of the family-friendly" continued
