No good because Ronnie has recently developed a fear of riding on carrousels.

>> Le Carrousel in Bryant Park

The word “carousel” has been traced to twelfth-century Arabian games of horsemanship called “carosellos” or “little wars. The game consisted of riders tossing a small perfumed clay ball from one rider to another. By the 16th century these games spread to France where the events were elaborated; people wore fanciful costumes and engaged in tournaments of drama called “Carrousels.” Eventually the art form became more tactile, as artists began to sculpt crudely shaped horses. In the late nineteenth century American artists broke from European tradition. To the dashing horses, artists added an entire menagerie of elegant animals, often accompanied by flowers, bells, plump cherubs, and flashing mirrors.

Le Carrousel in Bryant Park, specially created to complement the park’s French classical style, is an homage to both European and American traditions. Its fourteen delightful animals, replicas of classic carousel creatures, revolve to the sounds of French cabaret music. The rounding boards, inspired by Bryant Park’s elegant baroque-style torchères along 40th Street, blend into the leafy canopy of the park’s plane trees.

Fabricon Carousel Company, whose artists designed and created Le Carrousel, is based in Brooklyn, N.Y., and has hundreds of other installations as far away as China and as close as Riverbank State Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.<<

The Stones did their new album in France, "Old Europe", this Carrousel would be a very great location to present this new Rolling Stones to the "New World" in NYC.

Perhaps now they will play as younger children?

I was just in Bryant Park this morning. Great place to have a press conference/ surpise concert. There is usually a large lunch crowd, as it is in the heart of midtown. Depending on how much info leaks plus the daily crowds of people the press conference should be quite the scene.

I remember the "secret" U2 show in Brooklyn. I think about 3000 people made it to the show and it was in Brooklyn. If this gets out the area around Bryant Park will be a madhouse!

A little park history:

>> ... But the reading room never reopened. By the late 1970s, Bryant Park became a haven for drug dealers, vandals, and vagrants. In 1980, Biederman and Andrew Heiskell, the library's chairman, drafted a plan to revive the park with new entrances, improved paths and lighting, renovated restrooms, restaurants, concession kiosks, and restored monuments.

"Bryant Park thrives because we add five to 10 new things each year," Biederman says. "You have to keep giving people reasons to visit." <<
