Mick hates the past is an odd spin on claims he's anti-nostalgia. All of this stems from the notion that because he exerts a slight effort to keep up with the times when writing and recording new material, Mick is anti-nostalgia. If that were truthful, he would have left the Stones behind in 1985 and played shows made up only of his latest material regardless of the size of the venue. The very fact that he sings primarily material from 1965 - 1981 at every show, signed a contract to reissue expanded versions of five classic albums from the 1970s and 1980s, and signed a contract to start releasing archival concert recordings from the 1970s forward should be proof that he doesn't hate the past.

It seems to me that any realistic discussion of their behavior other than fawning is not tolerated here. Prove me wrong.

And meanwhile I like honest views, even when they are very negative, saying that they should hang it up, is just like saying France should stop being France after Waterloo.

It's not my business if Mick Jagger likes or dislikes the past or what he does in his sparetime or anything to do with his love life. I'm really not interested in that, other that I whish for him to be happy with his life.
For me, this is the question:
Do I have a good time at Rolling Stones shows?
Answer: Yes. And that has a lot to do with Mr Jaggers performance and the overall quality of the band and musicians on stage, the music played. I also like being part of a crowd of other fans who have a great night out at the concerts.

That's why the death of Charlie Watts hasn't ended the band. Just like the 4,000 women he has been with, this is just another bump in the road.
And before you flame me, think about how you would react to losing an integral part of your life. How it would effect your soul. Assuming you had one.
I've been a fan for more than 50 years. I'm not a troll. But this chapter truly disturbs me.

I don't have to think about it, I actually lost an integral part of my life last year - my wife. Most of the things we did we did together - and that includes going to numerous Stones shows. Everything I do now I have to do alone. It hurts, it hurts tremendously, but what shall I do? My soul tells me that I have to carry on doing all the things in life I enjoyed in the past. Otherwise I would give myself up. Is that the kind of "solution" you want for the remaining Stones members? Just because of your selfish opinion that they have to stop because you want them to stop?
And please stop this stupid Jagger blame game. He has a soul, just like you and me. He has made perfectly clear that he misses Charlie as his fellow band member and as his friend. But Mick's life continues. It's his decision that he wants to carry on. Just like Keith's or Ronnie's - personal decisions we should not question from the outside.

How does he hate the past where he sang Out ofTime,a56 year old song? Most of the songs he sings live on this tour are over 40 years old.His band has released one album of new material in a quarter of a century.Sounds like he loves it too much

And his setlists have quite a few new and recent songs; they might not be up to his highest standards, but to his credit he actually releases new music in the first place.

If he was to play all new stuff all we would hear are complaints that he isn't playing the classic. If/when the Stones release their new album they would get piloried for not playing all the warhorses. People just complain to complain.
