That’s ‘live on’ as in eating lots, not live on as in the Rolling Stones playing atop a giant piece of yeast bread. International rest homes take note, our seemingly immortal rockers only like their breakfast buttered and imported.
Evidently excited to still be on solids, Mick Jagger and his Rolling Stones have a traditional English breakfast consisting of tea, canned beans and crumpets flown to their San Francisco hotel every day.
The classy Four Seasons is putting the senior citizens up on the current leg of their Bigger Bang world tour. And though the hotel is only too happy to cater for the band’s whims, the Frisco natives have not been so welcoming.
Ted Weinstein, a local resident of SBC Park – the location of a recent Rolling Stones (CDs) gig – actually telephoned the police to complain his windows were vibrating because of the noise.
Quick-witted Ted gave his own hilarious explanation for all the racket:
"Just because they’re too old to hear their music doesn’t mean it has to be so loud."
Wonderful stuff. The local police were too busy solving murders to take much notice of Grumpy Ted, but city officials did consider employing the use of a sound meter to monitor concert decibel levels in future.
The chirpy Stones meanwhile took it all with a pinch of salt. Not literally you understand, as that would be chronically bad for the heart at their age.
