Re: Do the Stones really read these?

I doubt that any of the Stones themselves, other than Mick, even really go online, other than to perhaps check emails form family and friends. That said, BV has created the best source of information for fans about the Stones' professional lives, so of course people within the Stones organization would on occasion look at this site. Perhaps Chuck, who writes on his own webiste, looks on here to get a feeling on how fans feel about the setlists and keeps this in mind when he prepares the setlists with Mick.
I know for a fact Don Was has been on IORR. I talked to Don after the final night of mixing A Bigger Bang at Ocean Way studio on June 28. After a friend and I were able to spend a couple minutes with Keith as he left, Don came out and talked about the album with us. He played us She Saw Me Coming, which was the song they had just finsihed that night. I asked Don if he didn't mind, I would report on this to IORR. He was fully aware of the site, as well as other Stones sites, and gave me the ok. In Don has spent time on this site, I'm sure many others connected with the Stones, including Mick himself, have been on here.
