I think the Stones will get the tour back on track and that everything will be finished at the latest in 2006. I am not sure that they will keep on touring for 2 years because of Keith's coconut accident. To me, they can reorganize the tour in a way that a minimun of dates will be definitely cancelled if any. But they won't tour forever. It is like there would be a 2nd European tour and when would that take place?@The tour will be finished in December 2006C perhaps beforeB It would be too much trouble to organize a European tour in 2007 just to replace the postpone/cancelled showB

have you been speaking to Michael Cohl about this?

Without Charlie?

This is from the office of Ronnie Wood:

> Many venues have been postponed, not cancelled. In fact, there is talk of expanding the European Tour into 2007. As soon as I know, I will contact you. Obviously, several galleries are not able to accommodate us with the exhibition as they are already fully booked, so we will have to look for other venues. Meanwhile, we are commencing with the exhibitions in Munich,
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London and Birmingham at The Number Nine Gallery.

I used a translator for this article in the russian press, which was posted somewhere here on iorr

[www.kassir.ru]

Today management of group Rolling Stones has informed promoters of some European countries that the concerts of group declared earlier are transferred next year. To a huge regret of all Russian admirers, in number of these countries Russia has got also. The concert of group Rolling Stones in St.-Petersburg, already precisely, will be transferred for 2007. The medical commission which examined Kejta Richards who was was traumatized heads, has decided, that the musician cannot begin concert activity in the nearest one and a half month. Thus, from round of 2006 the group transfers a number of the European concerts next year. We regret for the developed situation and we count on understanding from all admirers of group Rolling Stones.
Under last information received by us from management Rolling Stones, new date of performance of group in St.-Petersburg and a place of carrying out of a concert (stadium of a name of Kirov shortly will start to dismantle) can be sounded already up to the end of July, 2006. We shall operatively inform all admirers of group through Mass media, on sites www.kassir.ru and www.planetplus.ru.

here's to Ketja and his traumatized heads!

great name for a band that..'Ketja & The Traumatized Heads'
-think i'll patent it.

A little OT:
I love Russia and Russians (as long as they dont invade Sweden... ;0) )
But their poor alphabet, the Chyrillic, lacks "h".
Hamlet is Gamlet and Copenhagen Copengagen [Kappenga:gen].
Weird but logical once ya comprehend it.
I believe they borrowed the vikings (not Stonesvikings)
name for scarf: our "halsduk"(chest-cloth) is "galsdok".
They have a troat-created "xh-"-sound, like in
Archangelsk or Chabarovsk. / 'nuff from Professor BB

I hope so.......bring it on........

Baboon - you're talking Sgit, my friend... ;-)

And "halsduk" again shows that there are big similarities to the German language where it's "Halstuch" - the russian "xh" sound might be the same as the "ch" sound in German, I guess 'nuff from Research Assistant Lorenz

Go to xhell, ya ulsterskij-angliskij tjelabjek* ;0)

(last word not as bad it sounds: = Human being)

I like the sound of that.

Isnt there a town in Norway called 'Hell' ??

Also a beer from former Norweigan Farmers Republic of Jamtland,

As Lorenz said: it is very near to the German word, I have to say that is also very near to the Dutch. (no surprise...?!) In Dutch the word is sjaal, from the english shawl, but if you would descibe it in Dutch it would be a *doek voor om de hals*, a cloth around the neck: een halsdoek.
That is probably also the word that was used before the english word took over.

Jelle

Another word for that in German is actually "Schal" (sjaal,shawl) - but it's more something that you would put around your neck to warm it, a "Halstuch" is a smaller and made of lighter fabric.

[sorry for more way-off-OT : ] 'hals' is an ancient ancient Germanic word,
we use it for small land or islandic/archipelagic passages like "Hårs-"
"Håls-" and "Hörs-' (pronounced hörs/haurs). The county of Hälsingland
is also from the word root of 'hals'. My county's name is also from
those small river bays: Angermannia. Russian curiers ran around here
from at least AD 800, many encounters (more in another thread?!).

>>Isnt there a town in Norway called 'Hell' ??

There is one in Poland, by the seaside close to where I live. It is called Hel to be precise but is spelled the same. So a lot of people here spend their vacation in Hel(l)

Imo most languages are a mess. Why can't everybody speak Swedish? That would be much more easier.

There is a vanishing political 'movement' fighting for that.
