I love the Rolling Stones.  It's amazing those dinosaurs are still rocking and rolling
Yes it was so long ago that they formed in 1962 in London!
That is a long time ago.  Who were the original band members?
Well the first line up included Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, and Ian Stewart. A lot of band members!
How about the beatles?  Were the rolling stones a band before the Beatles became a band?
No The Beatles were formed in 1960 in Liverpool, England. So I guess they beat them by 2 years.
Fascinating.  Do you know how many #1 songs the rolling stones have had?
I honestly don't know, but Mick Jagger has become knighted and is now known as Sir Michael Philip Jagger? He is also a multi-instrumentalist.
I did hear about that.  I saw that Elton John was knighted also.
