Damn, I thought this was going to be about our "Taylor should play more" revolt.
...Personally, I think he should SING more.
About time somebody gives Jagger a run for his money.
I won't be satisfied, nor will I shut up about it, until Taylor actualy has been given what he deserves - the lead vocals to ALL the songs he wrote for the Stones and/or has contributed to, in any sort of way, past ànd present.

I still think the Terry Richardson cover sucks and I also think the author doesn't go far enough....far enough would have been Jagger threatening to end the interview or walking out.

you mean that Jagger uses Rolling Stone/Wenner as his own personal PR machine when he needs to get his message across??...well then the article is just more BS then...isn't it?

Why would the band have to take a paycut? So, if the buildings are half-full, the band does not care. The schmucks offered them an amount that is really hard to cover. AEG took this on as bragging rights and can probably be written off on their taxes as a loss.
I'd have to think the band WOULD care, especially Jagger. If this is indeed the last tour, no one wants the embarrassment of playing half filled shows. In the end, if the venues are full, they can still point to the fact they sold the place out, or at least nearly filled it as 70 something rockers. As it is, when this tour ends, right or wrong, there's going to be an awful lot said about how the Stones have overstayed their welcome and should have quit while they were ahead. This board frankly isn't a good measuring stick of whether the tour was successful or the band did good shows. Hard core fans predominantly occupy these spaces, and will shout down the detractors. At this early juncture, it's hard to see why the Stones would ever do another tour again. Maybe a few shows here and there, but their touring days have got to be numbered after this.

Gilmore is a skilled writer and he knows that to push Mick too much would have endangered the magazine's cozy relationship with Jagger. Besides that, I am sure that the terms of the interview were layed out carefully before he sat down with any of them...ie, I'll talk about Keith and the book but only to this point.
Geez Al, don't you know Mick sold his soul to the devil long ago ...I thought that was Stones 101.Quote

Nice bit of airbrushing on the photographs. What's with Jagger's clear, wrinkle-free face?

Jan Wenner is besotted always has been. Since the beginning his magazine has been at Mick's beck and call and the Stones in general. The dude left his wife for a young guy so figure the rest out
