Rolling Stones Too Old for Their Own Concert ?

Rolling Stones Too Old for Their Own Concert

Veteran rockers the Rolling Stones are too old to be in the crowd of their
own concerts, after organizers of their forthcoming Super Bowl gig banned
audience members above the age of 45.

The National Football League big game next month will see the band perform
in front of 2,000 volunteers at Detroit's Ford Field during half time.

But middle-aged fans and seniors have been barred from being on the field
because organizers fear they are not spritely enough to dance, sing and
cheer in front of football supporters both in the stadium and watching on
TV.

The controversial rule means the British rockers, who boast a combined age
of 245, would be excluded from their own show.

An NFL spokesman, however, has defended the decision, explaining, "You have
to attend rehearsal and be able to stand for long stretches of time. And you
have to run on to Ford Field with 2,000 other folks."

My sister and I won a free trip to the Super Bowl about 12 years ago,
when Michael Jackson was performing at the Rose Bowl. As part of the
free trip deal they made us run out on the field at halftime and pretend
we were excited to be there. My mom told us to be careful and not touch
MJ because she thought we might catch something.

Hee!

Thanks for sharing, great story.

This must explain how McCartney got that excited young crowd down front
last year.
