The Rolling Stones have made some enduringly dreary music, and Jagger's grating mockney accent can only be rivalled by those other phonies Guy Ritchie, Jamie Oliver, and Dido. That said, owing to their advanced years, the Stones are the best example of a theory I've had for some time: the rock franchise.
In other words, their business franchise is now so incredibly valuable that the 'band' will have to continue long after all the original members are dead and buried, each one replaced as needed. In fact, I'd love to be around in a hundred years' time just to see if the theory's proven true. It'd be capitalism at its purest.

What about when that fan of Judas Priest, 'Ripper' Owens, joined what was left of the band? He then became the inspiration for the laughable and ill-fated movie 'Rock Star' starring Mark Wahlberg.
Kiss, arguably the most commercial rock band ever, has already laid plans to have the band on the road with no original members, and Devo has a band of kids called Devo2.0
