there is more to this than just this - i'm waiting for all sorts of editorial green lights before going with a developing story I've been made privy to - yes I hinted (stupidly) at it before - but believe me - there are a few other compelling notches in this story - *one* in particular as i have heard it told

And now you've "hinted stupidly" at it again. Jeez, stop with the striptease already. If you know something, just say it. It's just a rock band, not national security. You actually cut yourself off in mid-sentence? Did the CIA take your hand off the keyboard before you could reveal your precious secrets?

Come on, give us a glimmer! You were right about the tour delay.
Is the tour dependent on the successful receipt of a new liver for one of the band members?
Are they in fact recording a new album right now? A tribute album to all those future organ donors out there who may fall asleep at the wheel sometime soon?

Tele--doesn't work that way - like i said, i'd like to craft this as an official on-the-record story and the paint just ain't dry yet - - still, I did want it known here, among friends (at least some of you), that yeah, there might be more to all of this - the fact that they are announcing what they are, I felt, gave me a tad more license to at least verify that yes there is at least a tangible ISSUE behind the scenes, as I have heard it - more to come but for now, until i get a few more verifications, it would be rumor mongering - be patient

If you are truly a journalist why do you have to wait for "official" verification, unless you are employed by the Stones (and you're not), or you are worried about offending them or their organization for some reason? It's called a "scoop". If you have a source and one other source to confirm, that's good enough to publish, even if all you can say is "sources report...". Even if you have only one source, you can say "a source has told me but I have not been able to confirm..." Journalism 101. It's not difficult to read between the lines of what HAS been said and conclude that there is a "tangible issue" (Keith's health?) involved, but we're just talking about a fan internet site here, not the New York Times, so I don't understand all the cloak-and-dagger.
But whatever. It's just the Stones, not friggin' Woodward and Bernstein with Watergate.

Tel--I'm not waiting for "official" anything form the Rolling Stones or anyone connected to them - when you have sources and they share things, it is incumbent upon you to verify, as best as you can, what they - my typical rule? triple source - but regardless, i'm trying to learn more and so i will leave it at that - and for the record - in today's day and age - there is not much difference from a fan site vs. the NYT in terms of exposure - that is to say, the same potential number of eyes can see something on the internet - hell, the Times is a pay site so it'd be easier here!

There's also the fact that if someone tells you privately that they heard from an insider, family member, etc. tour dates or session dates being discussed and then someone else tells you what they were privy to because of their job and you proceed to post the news online for all to see just so you can be first, you no longer get any scoops because you're now cut off.
The other side of it is...
It does seem as if tension is running so high these days, we're ready to beat up on one another if something that was predicted doesn't pan out or even worse if someone teases us with knowledge we don't share.

duly noted (seriously - i may surprise ya - stranger things have happened) my other MO here is this - don't always believe the crap they tell ya, you know? there's always more to the story, and it doesn't always come out - but i think it should and i hope it will - i'm doing my part, i promise - and I do feel a special connection to this board as many of us have shared lots of great exchanges together - so stay tuned

The still other-side of it is that despite the leaks that you and Gazza were
privvy too, that spoke of a 2012 tour, they were just disinfo. You and Gazza
were being used, unwittingly and innocently, as disinfo agents. That's how
Mick rolls. At no point (yet) has Mick been even remotely serious about
touring for the 50th, no matter what he has told Keith or any other insider.
That doesn't mean he won't at some point decide to tour with the Stones again.
I just mean that it hasn't even come close yet.
As hbwriter has indicated, quit believing what is being said. Watch only
what is being done.
(That doesn't mean that I am at this point giving any credibility whatsoever
to the story that hbwriter is chasing down. It might just be another layer of
disinfo. We'll see.)

To be honest - I am fine if they don't tour again. I've seen them a bunch of time and am very happy that I got to see them even once. Besides if the only reason they're doing it is because it's an anniversary or whatever, then just as well they don't. If he and Mick can't stand each other, and are sharing a stage trying to fake it, well, I don't really want to see that.
That being said, if they get together because they really want to, I will certainly be a very happy girl.
