It's nippy out and the pensioners are falling like flies - but not this lot! Yep, it's time for another Old Man Music News roundup! Argh m'cackle! Firstly, it's been announced, rather predictably, that the Rolling Stones are to perform at this year's Superbowl. They're following in the footsteps of Paul McCartney, who earlier this year performed a tedious Beatles medly and let off some fireworks, and Janet Jackson, who famously let a saggy nork fall out of her dress back in 2004.
Fine specimens of sporting health, Jagger & co issued a rather bland statement thus: "We are thrilled to perform for millions of fans at one of the most exciting and highly anticipated sporting events of the year."
Meanwhile, former Superbowl hero Macca has had a moan about China, saying that he'll never play there because of their human rights record and occupation of Tibet. Not really! It's because the righteous carroteer is humpty about their habit of making clothes out of the fur of dogs and cats. "It's like something out of the dark ages," he thundered. Yes, and it was COLD in the dark ages man.
Finally, British old folks Black Sabbath and The Sex Pistols are to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. They'll join Blondie, Miles Davis and Lynyrd Skynyrd in the hallowed repository of rock at a ceremony in New York in March 2006.
