I can’t even imagine, how could a band has survived for decades, keep making new tunes and touring across the world. This one, who else don’t know? The Rolling Stones, hitting fifty years together (at least the two icon Mick & Keith) are really incredible. Salute for them, moreover they’re still making new songs or collaborations, they influenced artist across genres, so the rock n’ roll is such a virus, huh?
