Taking that as a serious comment:
If you consider the phrase "rolling stone" to be a pointer to the band, what reasons do you have for believing the saying indicates that the leader and primary identity of the band isn't dead?
Why did you reach that particular conclusion instead of, say, "Mick Jagger isn't maximally appreciated now because he's still alive"? Can you explain your reasoning to us in an explicit way that avoids the mossy pitfalls of retroactive justifications?
It isn't a conclusion, it's a pun. Laugh, it's funny.
As to the downvotes, I think people downvote because you read a whole lot of randomness into everything, and it's just confusing to answer you because what you say is so crammed with non-sequitur, that it's hard to reply other than "huh, WTF?". So people just say "too much bother" and downvote. At least, that's my guess.
"what you say is so crammed with non-sequitur,"
Hardly anything I say is non sequitur. I'd that nothing is, except there are probably occasional lapses.
I'll just have to work harder at being obviously obvious instead of obscurely obvious. :c(
Edit: One thought: I bet the people who complain of my being obscure respond similarly to the writings of Rebecca Borgstrom. I can't claim that I always interpret what she wrote correctly, but I usually perceive it clearly. Possibly I would qualify as a Borgstromancy practitioner.
