The Rolling Stones Celebrate 50 Years As A Band – Your Move, Bon Jovi
Because the Internet is magic, I went a-searchin’ for popular musicians that were born that same year (1962) the Stones first got together. Could some of these artists possibly maintain some sort of relevance and dogged longevity that Mick, Keef, Charlie, and Ronnie have?
