So it’s come to this: surgery, deferred annuities and rock ’n’ roll. The Rolling Stones, the bad boys of rock in the 1960s and ’70s, are showing their age. In April, the band postponed the start of its North American tour so that Mick Jagger could have surgery, reportedly to replace a damaged heart valve. The Stones started performing in the summer of 1962, and all four current members are over 70. And yet, as a Stones fan since the 1960s, I never expected to see this phrase: “You can get what you need, when you have an annuity.”
