1. It's interesting that the "anti-Taylor" folks here seem to think MT's being overweight is an issue, but seem not not mind a guitarist in the current lineup who is an apparently incurable alcoholic.
2. Taylor fans are accused of being nostalgic, when the Rolling Stones Inc. of the last several tours is about nothing more than raking in big bucks based on their brand, which means filling stadium seats mostly with people who only know the hits, and know little about the history of the group. In another words, they are marketing nostalgia.
3. The people here advocating Taylor joining for a tour are doing so because they want to see songs they love performed with the lineup that created them, not because they think it will sell more tickets (it won't). Many of us are desperate for the Stones to do something, anything, that challenges them and us, instead of giving us another stadium oldies show full of predictability, preening, and poor playing.

Yes, they should, but in todays touring world, ruled by $$$$, Mick T is more a liability to the Stones than an asset. He does not seems fit to embark on a 3 year world tour and with insurance and sponsors and all that sh*t, don't think they go along with the idea.
But boy do I wish I'm wrong and if dreams do come true, he and Bill should join them on tour.

"It's an interesting question" = "I'm very diplomatic today. The next one please."
