The Stones' Old Bones rattle and hum on "Shine a Light"

They can definitely still rock- but how much can they roll? Director Martin Scorsese's new music documentary "Shine a Light" finds Jagger and the boys not getting any younger, but certainly still holding their own (urine)(while on stage)(except for that leakage Charlie Watts experienced during Lovin' Cup).

Scorsese's a venerable film veteran, and while you may have known that, you might not have known that he is a straight up music aficionado gangster. Couldn't you tell with the inclusion of Bad Finger, John Lennon and Nas in "The Departed?" Who else could masterfully embed the likes of the Bad Finger suicide club, The Plastic Ono Band, and the Nas-thug-life, beat-right into the backdrop of the Boston landscape during a gangster shoot-em up and have it go on without a hitch? Martin Scorsese, that's who.
