I am sure I wouldn't be able to enlighten you but why don't you try the movies? It's a lot cheaper and more comfortable. We are talking the greatest rock'n roll show on earth, man.

Do you still have the cockroaches? It'd be interesting to see if that legend about the staying power of cockroaches and Keith Richards has any validity.

Has anyone ever seen Keith Richards and a cockroach in the same room together?

I don't see the connection. A movie? Why is it crazy to want to be up front without getting there at the crack of dawn. I'd rather have a few pints then head over. It's got nothing to do with comfort. The show is just better in the first ten rows as it is in the back. I like to know I'll be up front without having to fight for a position. Must just be a cultural thing. Hopefully we both get to see the band this summer. You with festival seating and me with reserved.

I can't imagine what happens, if the Stones are quiet for one or two years...

Will you start a thread at the end of the coming week too?

The Stones have been off touring for less than four months now, and people are just screaming for more shows. Is there any diference in drugs and the Stones? Both addictive. No side effects with Stones addiction except economical.

Sure there is. Listening to the Stones does not violate the terms of my probation.

Are you sure about that ohno?

bv - you definitely got it right.
My first Stones gig as 12 year old was at the Odeon Glasgow 1965 and the buzz I got then and numerous gigs right through to Hampden Park last August remains to this day . Addictive yes you better believe it !!

I paid my lawyer an extra $1,000 just so he'd get "rocking out" dropped from the list of banned activities in the terms of my release.

that was smart, ohno.....a $1,000 well spent.
