Might as well pick up some batteries and a snickers too...
Don't they make Mars Bars anymore ?
Mars is too controversial....you never see odd stories about where a snickers has been. But either way if its Mars they need to get off the therapist's couch then get a few....let's go!!
Mars bars are popular outside the US.
Ahhhh, so they're a bit like soccer and Oasis?
No one plays soccer outside the US. Except maybe Canada. Copycats.
Peace,
Mr DJA

Sorry to stray off topic, but I gotta ask PeanutGallery...how do you pick your text color? Do you have a planned color or just go with whatever one you feel like that day?
This is bothering me...

here's the real elephant in the room, stones fans
KR: "Once the juggernaut starts rolling, it ain't gonna stop. An extra gig
here, a place we never played there, things go on."
Well, sorry, it did not go on, it did stop.
Of all the "many" offers supposedly under consideration, either extending
50 and Counting into the new year was not one of them, or was turned down for
some reason.
That's BIG. The staging is there, the band is rehearsed, all those costs have
been absorbed, so ticket prices could have come down a notch or two, and yet...
NOTHING. All they would have needed to do is send Taylor to the tailor for some
stage clothes, and they could have been playing around the world at this very
moment.
So it is not unreasonable to assume there was a perception on the part of
the promoters of insufficient demand (to meet the Stones cash-on-the-barrelhead
requirements). Why else would the Stones not be playing right now?
Right now is when Mick, and many of y'all, have claimed that everybody in
the band is "at the top of their game", with the Stones and their fans
raring to go. The juggernaut completely fueled up. Yet once again bogged
down in the sands of time.
Tell me, what is going to be so different in eight months, except needing a new
stage, new rehearsals, and new hype to soak the same old fans, flying in from
around the world, with the same old show? Tarted up just enough to get by.

I don't think they will announce anything. No need for that. Just look at the history from last year:
Monday Oct 15 : Announcing 4 shows in London + Newark
Thursday Oct 25 : First club show at la Trabendo
Sunday Nov 25 : First public show London O2
Bjornulf — it's hard to call this history. It was more a matter of getting on the board and not missing their "50th" — don't you think? Just saying, I don't think that these past 5 shows, will have any relationship to what rolls out, then they do roll whatever out.
...
I am pretty sure they will announce short time, block by block, few commitments, ....

Looks like it might mean another winter tour!! ( or at least they'll start the tour in late fall/winter. That would be fine if they're working on a new cd.
The 2012 shows were a "teaser" for bigger and better things to come in 2013. A new CD is a certainty, followed by some form of tour. And don't rule out the possibility of some guest appearances along the way to the tour. I would think they would be up and rolling (touring) by next summer.

there is something very sad and melancholy about your post. Probably true no doubt, but somehow very despondent.

You're talking about 1/3 of the set list comprised of new material ?
I seriously doubt that.

Well, they played 2 in December and if as I suspect they record a new record, they will have ample material to add a handful of songs. I don't see them touring on a 50th anniversary legacy, it's over....they will move on to the "and counting" part and record a new album in an effort to demonstrate they are can remain artistically relevant.....despite what the whingers on this board think, LOL! I can't see Jagger doing anything different. I didn't mean to imply 6 per show, but they will rotate in the new material. One last "blaze of glory" as Keith said.

New Jagger quote in NME:
I guess last week when Jagger said "see ya soon" he meant "soon" as compared to
five years.
Ha ha he says " See you next Year!" at the end of Still Life. Cue 8 year gap..

BV, are you coming down to Argentina later this year? If so, I may suspect that the Stones will also come down.
