...but, man, does the media really need to have so much fun with it? Dig
the teaser line for a current story on the Stones:
"British rock legends the Rolling Stones postponed a concert scheduled for
Tuesday in the Spanish coastal resort of Benidorm as sexagenarian frontman
Mick Jagger succumbed to laryngitis, town officials said."
"Sexagenarian"? I mean, come on...that's just another way of sneering the
word "geezer"; otherwise, they wouldn't go out of their way to use a word
that isn't exactly one that finds its way into the paper on a regular basis.
