The Rolling Stones
Usually, I hate concerts. I am afraid about euphoric people, and I just want to run away. However, last night I went to see a concert in iMax, I saw a concert of The Rolling Stones in the cinema. There were about 200 people; ages vary between 20 and 70. I just had to pay nine dollars for the show; maybe it was 15 with candies, popcorn and some lemonade.
The movie (concert) was gorgeous, some people were euphoric but they were in their sits far away from me. They play many songs, but I knew just three, I have a lot of fun. Although the concert was great I learn some other thing there, precisely they were not about music or panic to people.
The most important knowledge of the night was: no matter anything, you must do that thing that you love doing. The second one: the age is not an impediment for nothing. The third and the last one: no vice, sickness or accident will kill you if you don’t want to die.
I’ll be specific. Keith Richards, the one that plays the guitar, said that they were there that day because they love doing this. All of them were about 65 years, they made their best. They have wrinkles, two of them have grey hair, and several times they stop to breath, but they were smiling during the concert because they were happy. Mick Jagger was dancing, singing, playing the guitar and the harmonica just like when he was 30, and he also was flirting with Christina Aguilera.
When I saw Keith Richards smoking all time, I thought that he may has an artificial lung. It is impossible smoking so much and being still alive or having the same lung. But, I realized that he was alive because he wanted to be.
Sometimes I hate, it’s most a special feeling of jealousy, people that in their 60s are able to move better than me in my 20s. Now, I realized that it is not a theme of ability or age; it is a theme of mind and heart.
