The image is from Live Aid (I recognized Madonna's outfit of all things...) and was taken in 1985...so it doesn't QUITE make it to 35 until next year in July of 2020.

Bob Dylan, Ron Wood and Mick Jagger have some HARD living done between them...and I am totally stunned that Keith Richards is not dead but David Bowie, Tom Petty and Prince are...but that's the way it goes for some folks!

I can't remember all of it, but the punch line is God telling Adam in the garden of Eden that "Keith Richards was here when I got here."
Or, alternatively, "Betty White was here when I got here."
