Keep on Rolling

Pleased to meet you, but I forgot your name: The Rolling Stones, who have now played together for more than 50 years, will tour North America this spring and summer. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, both 71, will be joined by bandmates Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood for the Zip Code Tour.

The Stones settled on Zip Code after rejecting the Denny’s Early Bird Tour, the Depends Tour, the Winnebago Tour and the You Kids Get Off My Lawn Tour.

Also launching a North American tour: Hillary Clinton began to outline her presidential campaign message in Iowa, following a two-day road trip in a van.

“Since you’re not planning to use it,” Clinton, D-Spam Folder, asked the Stones, “could I use the Winnebago Tour name?”

Like a Rolling Stone: Researchers confirm that the mind ages just like the body, but staying physically, socially and intellectually active can combat the effects of aging.

For example, find three musically inclined friends and launch a multi-city rock tour that demands remembering lyrics and strenuous jumping around a stage.
