Rolling Stones: Music
built 231 days ago
Four decades ago, the Rolling Stones made their name by defying propriety. Now they are defying age. They opened their latest tour Sunday night at Fenway Park with an audience of 36,000 filling the stands, the outfield and balconies overhanging the stage for the first of two shows here. Age can be cruel to musicians, eroding voices and stamina. But yes, the Stones can still do it.
