Rokyfanthis seems so obviously true, nobody could quarrel with it. Without Mick, Keith or Charlie the Rolling Stones would end.Quote

I have no idea what the personal dynamics are between the band members these days, but much as I'm looking forward to hearing the Ronnie and Mick T Show, I don't see them taking over from Keith in the Stones. Without Keith it isn't the Stones, pure and simple, no matter what shape he's in or how little he's playing. It wouldn't be the Stones without Mick. To a slightly (very slightly) lesser extent, it wouldn't be the Stones without Charlie. If any one of them leaves, or is invited to leave, including Charlie, that's when the Stones ends, for me.

As far as I know Jeff was sacked by the current manager. But it is a delicate subject, I've heard...

This must have been fairly recent, because this item from Classic Rock still has Jeff Allen listed as his manager as late as 2009 [www.classicrockmagazine.com].
However, in another IORR thread from earlier this year, the same poster who answered my query also mentions that Jeff Allen was out of the picture [www.iorr.org].
Nonetheless, I would still maintain that Ron Wood is keeping Taylor close to the Stones camp as well as in the eye of the music media, to see that he gets the sort of gigs more befitting a musician of his talent and stature rather than having to slog around the world for an endless series of gigs that will barely make ends meet.

I really don't know much about this, but you could always ask her - she's on this board, I think...

Stu was there almost twice as long as Taylor and Jones combined...

Yeah, but he wasn't a Rolling Stone after Oldham dismissed him. He was their roadie, occasional pianist and eternal hanger-on.

More like a father figure, that also contributed a lot musically for 21 years, I'd say...

Hmm, OK. 'Father figure'? But he was younger than Wyman!

If he was such a hanger-on, then how come The Stones organized a tribute concert for him, playing for free during a year when they weren't even active as a performing unit? If he was such a hanger-on, how come Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Pete Townshend also took part? If he was such a hanger-on, how come Paul McCartney was in the audience taping the set?

Oh, my heart bleeds for the offensive caused. Look, I’m partly on a wind-up. Some here are so defensive, it’s almost cringeworthy. For what it's worth, no, I actually do not believe Stewart falls into the category of 'hanger-on'

I wonder if Ronnie would have managed to stay so long had he joined in 1969 instead of Taylor.
