Veteran Rockers Sponsored by AARP

Since its members have, by and large, reached the age where feeling 'Hot Blooded' will send them running for the heart medicine rather than the sex-toy cabinet, it's somehow fitting that Foreigner will have its upcoming tour sponsored by the folks at AARP.

The two sides struck a deal that seems to benefit everyone, as evidenced by a contractual clause that sets up nightly meet and greets between Mick Jones's crew and AARP-member fans -- tete-a-tetes that could cause hot flashes and provide a steady stream of all-too-rarely-seen age-appropriate groupies. The trek, which kicks off on March 14, is the first of many hard-rock-for-the-hardening-artery set events coming up in 2008, with that list topped by AARP's 50th anniversary convention -- at which Gene Simmons will share his thoughts and, we can only presume, try to promote the idea of a Kiss-themed motorized scooter.
