I did digest that "shot an elk and put it back"-thing, Bv. And I would not dream about question your inside info-position.
But: your geographical definition: Dubai - "Close to Europe"... Spiritually, maybe, but geographically - hardly?
Hope they wanna explore the forest belt of Northern Europe closer instead of playing for the oil sheiks. I could show Mick some good elk hunting hideaways.
Dubai is not Europe of course but it is certainly not closer to Japan or Argentina. What I am trying to say - please don't twist my words - is that Dubai may be part of the 2007 part, like they have been planning for a long time. I do know the map. I have travelled most of these places. Europe ends in Istanbul, Asia starts there, Arabia is pretty close there, and Africa is south west. OK?
Sad that they may be going out of America with a whimper instead of a bang (or bigger bang). They are playing the wrong sized arenas, at the wrong pricing, with too many shows, too close together...not to mention it's a tough time of year to stay healthy if you're 30 let alone 60+.
I hope the drop Cohl, give up the greed, charge reasonal ticket prices for all the seats, and play venues where they can be seen and heard at their optimum.
The best part of most shows is the second stage. They don't need to bother with the huge production values, that drive up prices and make logistics more difficult.
I hope they make it back to America, play 18,000 seat hockey arenas, charge $100 for a top ticket, and create a positive BUZZ again about their shows. (It'll never happen...but I can dream).
Elks are nice animals. They are vegetarians acutally. My collegue got one of those over his car last week, and he is lucky to be alive. He did the famous fast turn any car in my country need to handle if you want to survive. The elk is by the way a central part of the Canadian Stones tour t-shirt. They can only live in Scandinavia, Canada, North USA and Russian areas because of the way their stomack is built. So they will not be able to enjoy any Stones show in Argentina - that is for sure. But Missoula, Bergen, Ottawa, Moncton, Halifax and a few more places for sure. Probably St Petersburg too, next year...
Is it pretty common to see elk and moose meat in the grocery stores in Norway and other northern countries? How does it taste? Does anyone ever try to ride these animals?
can we please now forget about a !@#$%%^&&* tour in 2007?-----geez......they are 189 years old......sigh...lets enjoy what we had...and the great memories....lets ALL give it up......
It will be in Palmdale but last I heard he was trying to get some sent down from Montana. Of course, Thanksgiving with the family might come at the expense of the Dodger Stadium show because the Metrolink doesn't run on Saturdays! I got a little Satisfaction last night though at the Devo concert last night. 2nd row behind the pit for $25!!!
