collection this fall. One of the songs is called “Gloom and Doom,” which may
describe how the deal is going for the four show, $25 million project they were
supposed to announce today. My source says the deal is not done, nothing’s been
signed."
Hope this is true. Hope it dies on the vine. Worst idea ever.

could this cover be construed as racist? i know (i hope) its not intentional, but it brings to mind offensive caricatures of African-Americans from the early 1900's.

What sound/noise would that spell? Not GRRR which sounds like a bear or dog to me.

It could have been worse. It could have been a gorilla with three balls in his mouth.

wow rev...they seem to be misfiring all over the place. I can't fathom how that cover art went beyond the 'white board' stage of development.

My working hypothesis, treac, is as always based on the assumption that jagger
never misfires, he simply decides for his own reasons to offend this or that
party or group. To me its obvious that one of his most frequent targets over the
last few years has been hard-core long-term fans, so we can hardly be surprised
at this point if he keeps rubbing it in. But to what end? THAT is the question.
Is it to set up a hits-oriented festival-type mostly-for-the-kids glorious
farewell? Or is it merely to pressure Keith into retirement asap by driving away
his audience?
One thing I still feel sure about: It is NOT because Jagger wants to do another
Vegas era big bucks tour. Even if he doesnt want to kill off the Stones
entirely, he absolutely wants to kill off that version of them. This London/
Brooklyn rumor proves that to me.
As for the art, personally i don't find the grrrilla as banal as the 40 Licks
tongue, and I doubt it will hurt with the target audience of christmas
consumers, that is, vaguely interested young rockers who have come of age since
Licks and who will consume the doco on HBO along with six beers and a bag of
Cheese Doodles.

In fairness to the Stones, they did play the free show in Rio. Of course, 1,000,000+ people showed up for that. Maybe central park?
Same to me.Quote

Assuming they did that, and it had no racist intentions, THAT would have had a sense of irony and I actually might have enjoyed it briefly.

Give up on the festivals! You are the ONLY person who even thinks they will play festivals. It won't happen!

I wonder though -all this pumping up for a 'great statement' by the Stones which ended up into something horrible, while they would of course normally use this momentum created to announce gigs which would make lots of money.
Could it then indeed be true that the Stones are finished as a working band, and most importantly, as we've all could see from Richards last couple of live appearances: is Richards really finished as a working guitarist?
It smells like it.

Would be a little weird to book four gigs just to confirm the supposedly permanent decline", wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, I think so too. Mick. Charlie, Ronnie are in much better condition than Keith. Besides of that is Keith's arthritis perhaps the biggest problem.

Me too. But the problem is more the head than the fingers for sure.
