I hope they play far away from the U.K. where the fans expect too much. They're old farts and so what? I want to see them, and they NEVER ever never ever play anywhere on the West Coast. If they do, it's hit and miss. Most of us yanks never get a chance to see 'em unless we live in New England.

I need Millennials like I need cancer.
Kindly take your opinion of people belonging to my generation and shove it up your arse.
Hey, it was your generational contemporary who started it by attacking my initial post in this thread.
To me it was major news, word of the Kinks reuniting, but this Bast-ard-ion attacks my post with this "Enter the 21st century" mentality -- here of all places, a board devoted to a band mainly of interest to people 50 and up.
That's the trouble with you Millennials, and all your Twitter/anti-social media attitude toward life. You think the whole world should be all about YOU. You think that you've ARRIVED.
But time will just wash you all away, and you won't even have a Rolling Stones -- or a Kinks -- to celebrate life with 50 years from now.
You'll all destroy each other in a bullying Twitter shit-storm, accompanied with a slew of cell phone videos that go bacterial.
You are the children of Orwell.
And.
I.
Don't.
Need.
YOU.
Wow.
You've assumed so much about me from one measly forum post. FYI I don't even have a twitter or instagram account, and only use facebook as a means to talk to friends and hear about gigs and other events. I also can't stand it that people seem to want to film and document every little thing nowadays, and that they cant't just seem to live in the moment at a concert and would instead prefer to watch it through a cellphone screen. Although, this isn't limited to just my generation I see it from boomers all the time as well.
Am I not allowed to like the Stones or their contemporaries simply because I was born in 1990? All of this shit coming from older generations about millenials being entitled is complete rubbish. Student loan debts are insanely high, in most countries it is impossible for someone my age to buy a house without help from family. In contrast baby boomers received free university tuition (at least where I'm from) and housing was much, much cheaper. You can also bet your bottom dollar that by the time I'm 65 I won't receive any form of superannuation because it would have all been spent on the boomers by then. Here in NZ for example, super isn't even means tested.
As for music, I will still be listening to the Stones in 50 years, even though they won't be around. There's also plenty of good music coming out in the present, you just have to find it. Pretty low brow stuff to be honest mate, 'I'm better than you because I'm old and the Stones are still around'.

I think so too. Over the past few weeks they have posted several pictures referring to 1968 on facebook. Village Green Preservation Society is from that year. Also Ray Davies announced that a new edition with bonus tracks would come out later this year.

Oh yes, nice - thanks Cristiano.
Something very unique about Ray's songwriting, and this song is no exception.
There's a nursery rhyme like quality to this tune, yet it's lyrically poignant at the same time.
Reminds me of some of the lyrics Roger Waters wrote for the Pink Floyd track Time.
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun..."
