The Rolling Stones would be too old to watch their own Super Bowl performance, organisers have ruled.
Two thousand people will be invited onto the field to watch the band's half-time performance on February 5th but only people between the ages of 18 and 45 are eligible, National Football League spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
"You have to attend rehearsal and be able to stand for long stretches of time," he told Detroit Free Press. The youngest Rolling Stones member is 58.
The NFL said it would be a "once-in-a-lifetime chance" to experience the prestigious event "from a totally unique perspective".
Age restrictions were applied because the task was physically demanding, Mr McCarthy added. Volunteers will be expected to dance, sing and cheer, remain on their feet for long periods and wait in a tunnel for most of the first half. They must attend up to five rehearsals lasting up to seven hours each. "And you have to run onto Ford Field with 2,000 other folks," said Mr McCarthy.
The four members of the Rolling Stones have a combined age of 246, with guitarist Ronnie Wood the youngest at 58. Their performance at the Detroit, Michigan, event will be part of the group's ongoing world tour. Last year the Rolling Stones broke their own 11-year-old record by selling tickets worth $162m playing 42 performances before 1.2 million people.
Past Super Bowl performers include Sir Paul McCartney and Janet Jackson, who sparked protests in 2004 by exposing her right breast during a raunchy dance routine.
Halftime show needs more Gwen Stefani, like in '03; and fewer wrinkly things, like in '04.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Even the Rolling Stones can't save it.

Actually what we really need is another wardrobe malfunction, preferably involving Charlize Theron or Halle Berry.

The Stones will never die. After the Neuclear Holocost, the only things that will be left is the cock roaches and the Rolling Stones.

Forget having youngsters on the field. That space should be reserved for EMTs in case Keith Richards has some emergency from overindulgence.
And who's to say Mick would not top Michael and Janet Jackson, by both exposing a dancer's breast and grabbing another guy's crotch.

Of what? Water and oxygen? I think those are about the only things his body isn't adjusted to.
