The 50th birthday party was fantastic. A PR home run. But, the best is yet to come!

There is something magical and mysterious about the month of October. It fits "our" Rolling Stones perfectly.

We have a thing in my little village (nicknamed Sleepy Hollow) we call the 'Season of the Witch'. It begins on October 17 and runs through Halloween night. It is a time when sorcerers call up the "sleeping". Time to awaken the Stones!

Beware, the autumn winds shall soon be upon us! And so shall the Stones!

they're just not that into us

What birthday party? Did I miss something? If the Stones are going to celebrate 50 years as a band, they need to be a band! What other bands takes 6 year breaks between work?

You missed the anniversary celebration? It was amazing. They actually walked the red carpet and posed for photos together. Best of all, they never played a note of music. It was like the SHINE A LIGHT premiere all over again except this time Ronnie didn't go off the rails with a teenage Russian prostitute.

Here we go again...

I wish it was 1973. Damn!

When the documentary will be released? That might be the next "big event" to show up...

They made a documentary about the 50th birthday party?

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Uh huh. More crap to push here? Didn't you disappear around July 12? Why didn't you stay away? Glad your little town is going to wake up for October. Perhaps you should blog about it so nobody can read it.

My 15 year old son and I made a point of seeing this band at Lollapalooza last week. THey were my son's pick and, man, he nailed it. Looking very much forward to this record.

I've given up all hope.....I am weary of waiting...think I'll spend my tour $$....JOKING! But not really....I think that if this is their way of building tension, they've played it out far too long.

Please could you tell us were you got those mushrooms?

.................................. All Eyes Now On October!

I think all most eyes are rolling at this point.

even though our teachers always told us "DONT YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME MR!!...
but she was full of it... the answer actually was on the cieling... with the gold.

Actually, one tires of this 50th anniversary business rather quickly. Since when did the Stones become so locked into merely looking back without at the same time working their way forward? True, they did a 25th anniversary nod with their 25x5 doc in 1989 (although shouldn't that have been, by present calculations, occurring in 1987 instead?), but they were also being productive with new songs and a major tour as well. Their 40th anniversary nod didn't leave any lasting impact--40 Licks is now out of print. The point is, the Stones always acknowledged their history--with their concert setlist, yet in spite of that "big black shadow we carry around," as Keith Richards once described their history, they always managed somehow to be a part of the present, with the combined force of their personalities and their performances busting through all the ageist commentary and derision to forge on indefinitely no matter what...and now, where has that spirit gone? They vowed they would continue on with recording and touring until they dropped. What is so important about a 50th anniversary? A photo book? A documentary DVD? With their pattern of work habits, they should have just now been wrapping up another big tour, and there should have been already another new album to either cherish or despise.

What happened to the work ethic of the Rolling Stones?...Are they merely popping champagne corks and toasting themselves into oblivion? How much longer can this self-congratulatory semi-existence of theirs continue on?

Actually and technically it's not - at least when it comes to baseball, the most boring "sport" in the world next to golf. America's Get Fat Time.

You saying that is way more believable than some MightyStandingStill50.

Regardless, I don't believe even less than 1% of it.
