Uhhhmmmm......where are the people who still LOVE the Rolling Stones for the music, all of it.

For those who are expecting a "new album", well......I wouldn't hold your breath for that. Maybe we could be happy that they're still putting on some shows!

There, rant over.

You forgot: "Keith can't play any more!", "It's not the Stones without Bill!", "They're just going through the motions!" and my personal favorite "Paul McCartney puts on a much better show!"

I also forgot these:

I HATE ARENA SHOWS!

I HATE SMALL VENUES!

WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE FOR 100 HOURS FOR TICKETS TO THE SMALL VENUE(S)!

THEY SHOULD HAVE HUNG IT UP AFTER 'EXILE ON MAIN STREET'!

THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED A DECENT SHOW SINCE THEY WERE LIVING IN EDITH GROVE!

I MISS BRIAN!

I HATE CHUCK LEAVELL!

I HATE BLONDIE CHAPLIN!

I HATE THE BACK-UP SINGERS!

I HATE THE ENTIRE THING!

I HATE LIFE IN GENERAL!

MOST OF ALL.......I HATE LOVING THE ROLLING STONES!

Did I cover it now?

Ouch, that's way harsh...poor Keith, he's not one of those men who look good bald.

In other words, nothing is confirmed. So....the Poll Star article was pointless. And, per usual SOP, we will hear from the Stones when the Stones want us to hear from them.

Of course there will be an announcement, but who cares? A lot of people I suppose, just not me. No new album, then what is the point?

I keep reading about gae, Mick, ridiculous VS pushing the envelope , and on and on. These men are Entertainers, it what they do for a living and the life they chose, they love the adoration of the crowds. In one way or another it will continue as long as we do. Turn the lights in the other direction. Who at a some 1975 show could ever have imagined 50 and 60 year olds at the rail at a Stone's concert? Who in the sixties could have imagined being a grandmother tipsy on expensive wine at the O2 screaming and boogieing at those O2 shows last November? Gentle people I think they are our's and we are their's . probably until death do us part.

And about Jagger continuing to leap about and run miles on stage at age 70 - I think we have to recall what Charlie said years ago: "I think we'll look silly doing this at 70".

Now, Charlie (I doubt) meant looking silly playing drums or playing guitars or playing pianos. The "silliest" one could be Jagger.

There's a hige risk in leaping about at age 70......no matter how wonderfully agile and in perfect body he is.

My thoughts only.......

Jagger himself said, around the time of the ABB tour, that he could easily see himself performing well into his 70s, so I doubt this milestone will mean the end of something. Charlie was in his early 50s when he thought they would look silly playing rock music at 70, but there was a time when the thought of such a band continuing into their 50s would have seemed silly to many. Just take it one year at a time, and if they can still get through a 5-hour rehearsal with no trouble, then they can surely get through a 2-hour show.

Good point, Stonehearted. I remember as a kid thinking no rock star could go on past 30 years old. Past 40 was just unimaginable and ridiculous. One year at a time, seeing how far they can take - it's worked so far.

At my first Stones concert in 82 there was a woman standing next to me saying something like: ...."unbelievable, Keith Richards still can do it at HIS AGE".....(not even 40 years old).....

I remember watching news reports on television of shows for the '81 U.S. tour. Teenagers who attended the show were being interviewed. One girl commented that their older stuff was better and that Mick Jagger moved pretty good for an old guy--and he was only 38!

Won't see too many teenagers at the shows this year ....
