Otherwise\u00a0known as \u2018The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Tour\u2019<\/a>. \u00a0Whew. \u00a0I mean, can they really dig people up to go just to go on a rock tour? \u00a0I remember when Frank Sinatra was\u00a0doing\u00a0is\u00a0final\u00a0tour, and many complained that he was, well,\u00a0embarrassing\u00a0himself. \u00a0We saw him in 1990, he was 75 years old. \u00a0Truth be told, he wasn\u2019t at the top of his game, but he wasn\u2019t bad either. \u00a0Still I remember the ribbing, the jabs, the jokes, and quite frankly, the heads hanging in\u00a0embarrassment\u00a0for this once\u00a0dynamic\u00a0entertainer brought low by the ravages of age. \u00a0And now? \u00a0I mean, all Frank did was walk about and sing, with the\u00a0occasional\u00a0joke here or there. \u00a0The Stones still get out there and act like they think they\u2019re in their 20s. \u00a0And to me, it\u2019s a million times more\u00a0embarrassing. \u00a0Just like it\u2019s\u00a0embarrassing\u00a0that the entire Baby Boomer generation seems to refuse to grow up.\u00a0 FWIW, when my boys see them perform, they think the same thing. \u00a0Will the Baby Boomers never learn?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
