Sincityboy, your post is really touching. But don't be gloomy. Maybe it was the last time for you, but the Stones will be "rolling" forever in our blood, in our mind, in our soul, for sure. The music, the memories, the expiriences from the gigs...And you know something? The Stones are ending their unbeliveble career (i hope elongating the tour, until the end of the 2014, in order to be "52 and counting tour") as ... the Stones. In an absolutely glorious and proud way. Doing excellent gigs, rocking packed houses, enthraling people, having possitive reviews from the vast majority of the Press (i don't like the $600 prices of course, but now that's a detail to me). Who the hell could imagine such a longevity, not only in the 60s or 60s, but even in the 80s and 90s?
Yes, i know, some people say "they 're not creative anymore, they have offered us only a new album plus two new songs in the last 8 years". And i remember the opposite criticism from the years 1983 - 1989, when the Stones were creating albums, without doing tours: "What on earth are they doing? Rock and Roll does mean firstly live acting and being dripping with sweat on the stage", blah, blah, blah. But how could a career of so many decades be organized like a robot? I feel happy, because during all these decades i never heard a bad Stones album. I feel happy, because all the Stones gigs i have attend varied from "more than decent" to "stellar". I feel happy, because my wife and my son became fans after having seen them (first time, for both) live on ABB tour, not after having seen DVD's from the so called glory days. Band's standards remain high and IMO the so called general public and the casaul fans are appreciating this factor much more than many "hard core" fans do. The explanation is another story...

But what the hell am i doing? Passing Stones career in review? It's not the rihgt time, yet. I can't wait for the european tour's leg. I hope my "last time" isn't in the past...
Be happy, Sincityboy... The party still goes on... And, once again, it will never end into our memories, our souls, our brains. Feel sure for that, my friend!
