Stones starting up new tour

Stones starting up new tour

OH GOD NO.

Mick in a wheelchair, holding a colostomy bag, and taking naps between sets.

1. You think that's bad?

Cleveland's whining because the Stones aren't stopping in town.

Well, if you consider that Clear Channel runs the venues . . . why should they boost the economy?

2. I love the Stones

But, a few years ago I worked security at their show here in Cleveland. I worked backstage and when they came off at the end of the show, Keith looked like he was going to die. They had the oxygen tank for him..lol.
But still, they put on a great show and sounded great. I'm glad they are still around.

4. I'm expecting to spend about $800 for 2 tickets

I go everytime and it's always fantastic. Of course, I have the advantage of living near Toronto, which has the Stones as patron saints.

5. No, Mick is not in a wheelchair

There is nocolostomy bag. I have every intention of being in the same shape as him when I'm 62 and doing the same crap I was doing when I was 12.

Quite frankly, why don't we hear all this ageist bullshit when whenever McCartney's name comes up? Have you taken a good look at Clapton, Page and Plant recently?

BTW, I'm 52. I neither look it nor act it. The Stones were about my current age when they did the Voodoo Lounge tour. If I took all the negative criticism about their age, then, to heart, I'd be a pretty damned miserable person by now.

7. I guess I should have added

I go see them every time they are in town. They're still the best show in town.

8. Sorry....

Every fucking time they tour it's the same crap - and has been since the late 70's. I got set off this morning by watching the CBS morning show and that idiot weather man said the tour was sponsored by Geritol. Real clever. I don't know WHY I bother with that bullshit station. I despise Harry Smith and the 700 Club comes on directly afterwards in this market.

6. Keith Richards, "A chicken on crack"

On second though, is he still on that stuff?
