I don't have any friends who dislike the Stones but I have a quite a few who don't care for what they have become and lost interest over the years, and I also have a lot of rock fanatic friends who simply will not pay over a certain amount for a concert ticket or set foot in an arena or stadium just to see a band. Pretty much all things I can respect the same way they way they respect the fact that I still dig them though I agree with Gazza that they aren't really a rock n roll band anymore. I prefer Keith's own description of "virtual corporation."
