Congratulations to all of us, 55 years of joy

Very Happy Birthday to the best band in the world! I work from home but I'm going to make sure I get out to the shops later - in one of my stones tees in honour of their special day.

Ten years ago, after the Bigger Bang tour ended in London, so many of us thought we had just seen the end after 45 years. Who knew they would still be giving us so much great stuff? Blue and Lonesome, a new tour, 3 kids under a year old...! (And whatever Grrr was about too!) Thanks boys! See you in September!

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

The "Blue & Lonesome" album is really awsome, thank you guys, keep on rollin', see you in Münich!

Happy 55th Birthday to greatest Rock 'N Roll Band of all Times.

Man times goes by fast, seems like it was yesterday the discussion was the 50th!

Hopefully it's not the Stones themselves that have been 'cancelled'.

I'm still curious why so many people seem convinced that next summer's UK tour will be it for the Stones. I know they HAVE to give it up eventually, but it seems a lot of people are certain that next summer is all she wrote.

I have been a huge fan of The Rolling Stones since I first saw them in Foxboro, Mass Oct 20, 1997. I went to see them with a friend of the family. I was almost 20 and not even a Stones fan yet. I was into Kiss and Aerosmith and had seen both bands in concert. My friend paid for our entire trip. I was completely blown away by The Stones performance! I fell in love with them by the 3rd song! After the concert I was a life long Stones fan! I started my Stones collection the very next day. I saw them again on March 28, 1999 in Hartford, Conn. That performance was even better than my first one! They were absolutely incredible! I met my boyfriend on that trip, and we are still together to this day! We travel together to see The Stones during every US Tour. We see them whenever they come to the Boston area. I won a trip to see them in Moncton, New Brunswick Sept 3, 2005. We are such big fans that we traveled to Natick, Mass to see "Shine A Light" on IMAX. Maine did not have an IMAX theatre at the time. I have seen The Stones 16 times, my boyfriend has seen them 19 times. We have traveled to see them in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Buffalo! We met Woody in Philadelphia and shook his hand! I am dying to meet Mick someday!! Our latest Stones trip was to New York City for Exhibitionism on opening day. We loved it and want to see it again sometime. I snag every release they put out in every edition. Our giant Stones collection is ever growing! At last count my Stones shirt collection was over 60 a few years ago! We have lost count of how many books we have on them!
I want to thank The Rolling Stones for all of the joy that they have given me throughout the years! They are the greatest band on the planet! Not a day goes by that I do not listen to one of their songs, (including solo stuff), or read about them, watch videos of them or think about them! I will love them forever!! Long live The Rolling Stones!!!

I saw them for the first time on the following night, October 21...front row, Keith's side. He jumped down onto the catwalk during JJF right in front of me and I did the "I'm not worthy" bow...he just gave me a wicked grin and hit some nasty chords, then kept moving along.

Thanks for the stories, I cannot imagine how much fun/ enriching life it must of been to have a RS fan as a partner/ companion.

Happy Anniversary lads.
