Quite simply, since the "World's Greatest Rock'N'Roll Band" is still around today (they formed in 1962), they still put out great albums ("A Bigger Bang" is REALLY good!), they still deliver great shows (I saw them live in 1997), as well as the fact they invented hard rock which set the foundation for many more styles like heavy metal, punk rock and more, and most of the original rock'n'rollers are either dead (Chuck Berry and Little Richard are exceptions) or the original superstar bands are disbanded then this term refers to age and generations. Yet the Stones still draw in so many fans of all ages because they're still vibrant and alive despite their years. Because of their legendary ground-breaking status the Rolling Stones are also nicknamed the Granddaddies of Rock'N'Roll, or similar appelations.
I saw Live 8 on TV. I saw Will Smith do a brief set and up next was the psychedelic rock powerhouse Pink Floyd. Of the four musicians, bassist Roger Waters looked the best - he sported a shock of gray hair, yet he still had all his hair. On the other hand, what hair guitarist David Gilmour had left was thinning and nearly white and he had a paunch. Drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright (R.I.P.) had their hair salt and pepper laced with gray. Still, they played really well. It's sad to realize that this was to be the last Pink Floyd show ever but this unforgettable evening was a wonderful way for the band to make their fare-dee-well. After I saw this I switched off the boob tube and told my folks about it outside. I had seen Pink Floyd live in 1994 and they looked different (older) in 2005. My dad said "What do you figure? Pink Floyd is as old as the Rolling Stones". Well, Pink Floyd DID form before I was born. Who will carry the torch? Richard Wright, R.I.P.

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. With a simple organ riff, electric guitar, piano, tambourine and harmonica all perfectly balanced in the song. The song ran over six minutes, an incredible amount of time for a song in that period, with most being 2-4 minutes long. The authenticity in Dylan's voice (H-o-o-w does it feel?) is very well felt throughout. At one point, this song was six pages long, and Dylan cut it down to what it became. Rolling Stone Magazine voted this as the greatest rock song off all time, topping a list of 500. Dylan even said himself, "Stone's the best song I ever wrote."

"Rolling Truck Stones" is a quote from the classic Deep Purple song "Smoke On The Water". It refers to a mobile recording studio built into a truck, which was previously used by The Rolling Stones. It was also used by Led Zeppelin, among others after The Stones were done with it.
The fact that Deep Purple's vocalist Ian Gillan says "Rolling Truck Stones" instead of the more logical "Rolling Stones Truck" was possibly just a "brain fart" on his part.

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
