The Rolling Stones
Jagger's legendary band
The Rolling Stones are a British rock band formed in 1962, one of the most influential and commercially successful groups in popular music history.
The name comes from the Muddy Waters song "Rollin' Stone." Core members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards became icons of rock rebellion.
My dad saw the Stones live in '72.
The band's longevity makes them shorthand for rock endurance: They're still touring like the Rolling Stones.
