You folks who say the Stones' marketing is bad are crazy! They're on soap operas, they're on Monday Night football, they're in the USA Today, they're at the Super Bowl, they're ruining the grass at Fenway Park, their ex-wife has a reality show, Mick's girlfriend is telling Keith to quit smoking, Jann Wenner is again sucking their pee-pees, Mercedes-Benz is running full page ads, for chrissakes Maxim has an interview with Mick. What do you want, a Keith shoe by Nike?
They're old (so probably are you). If you want to sell something in America today, you must have 1) TnA 2)young TnA, or 3)pre-pubescent TnA. Oh, or 4)semi-automatic guns. Since Bill Clinton, even bjs are passe. Radio has forsaken George Jones and Merle Haggard. Their jeans aren't tight enough, and they don't wear hats. You expect great RnR to sell in this market?
