My point too. They are about sex drugs and rock n roll and they invented this lifestyle. Stones are not about ticketsales and how many came to the arena or politics except for when they create the politics themselves (M. Traudaeu).

for lifestyle reasons here's some cheesy gossip:

KEITH RICHARDS admits to sharing drugs with his kids.

The veteran BROWN SUGAR star and father-of-four often borrows illegal substances from his children when his own supply runs out.

He says, "I occasionally borrow pot from my kids. They do a little weed sometimes.

"It's 'Here Dad' or more likely, 'Dad, have you got any?'"

Clearly those of us posting in this thread DO care about what drugs the Stones have been on, as it's an absolutely integral element to their history over the years.

I suggest you stay out of this thread if it offends you so much so we can go on having a discussion, and you can go about making your own thread about whichever topic you'd like.

What drugs were they on when photographed for the Black & Blue cover? Mick and Bill are especially dazed.

Keith is high as a kite on H and the others are probably coked up (Mick and Ron) or cannabis (Bill and Charlie).

Who cares? Isn't it the music that counts?

Keith Richards singing 'Little T&A', Leeds, '81/'82:

"I took some acid! sdjfkj j "

So? Who cares? Most of all artist, painters, musicians, filmmakers, acters and so on, have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Why bother and who cares? Enjoy their work.
