Well they "won't " get taxed is a broad statement. North Korea, Eritrea, and the USA, are the only 3 nations in the world that require all citizens and legal permanent residents to file for income taxes no matter where you are living or where the money is earned. They also claim and assert the legal right to know if you have over $10000 squirrled away in any checking, savings, reti

The best part of about this news is , of course, that Mick is well and ready to tour. I will also point out that myself and other people from the medical field tried to point out this most probable outcome to all the people hanging black crepe for weeks.

Foxie talked to Barnard, I was there. We both caught up with him at a sound check for the touring group, A Bowie Celebration. Richard was circumspect in not naming names, but it seems that secret is out. Nonetheless, I confirm only because Richard does not BS, he does not have to, he's straightforward. And as he freely admits, though Barnard did say he'd see us in Chicago, he did not sa

Mu first Stones show was 26 July, 1975. Mick was performing on his birthday in Bloomington , Indiana. The first tour with Ronnie, and I don.t remember any debate at the time of Taylor VS Wood, we were going to the Stones. I went with a group of friends that used any event as a polypharmaceutical chemistry lab. I barely remember going to a bathroom before the show. Since then I have often joked th

Get well Mick, simply stated Bjornulf and thank you. Everyone is talking money, pressure from promoters, and I think they are leaving out a very important factor. Over the last 18 months I have had some health set backs. People were kind, caring, but I remember one night a friend offering to do some menial task while visiting and I finally had to say , " I'm not an invalid."

Somewhere is the idea I was just another face in the crowd and this woman was good with names, but she remembered mine. Shelly was a legend to me before I met her. I could go on and on about my encounters and my feelings , but I'm not sure a public forum is the best for this. Besides at some point it becomes more about me then, and it should definitely be about her She always treated me well

Marianne has always been one of my favourites. Surely she stays true to herself though and is not worried about mass appeal. Thanks to this, she has had moments of true brilliance. This release has been on my car CD player a lot lately. I have to say that each song individually is beautiful and gripping, listening to the release from beginning to end is difficult. The melancholy is relentless. It

Caught the show in London with Beast and have to say the visual impressions he achieves with such minimalism on stage is unique. This is very much a show and not just a concert. What you miss in spontaneity is made up for with polish and choreography. So even though I loved it, and I'm going again in about 4 weeks to the Auckland show, I'm hard pressed to see this solely as a rock and r

" ...and Cleveland. It was the highlight of an otherwise dreary day. Rain, bad acid, angry bikers and arguably the worst set the Stones ever delivered in their established career. Peter was not well received by the crowd nor was KANSAS (FFS) or the tight-rope act." I am always happy when others talk about this show in Cleveland exactly as I do. I don't know why, but there is a

I'm travelling from Auckland NZ for Zurich, Lucca, Barcelona and hopefully Amsterdam. I'm used to it having lived out on various islands in the Pacific for years. I once travelled from an Island called Tinian to London just to see Ronnie's two shows with Stomp. Its great to see the guys play and hang around with all the other crazy people that do the tours regularly.

One of the most amazing things about this thread is every time I read the new posts, I am reminded of artists I have seen and forgotten about. I guess that's a great screening process, if you don't remember going to the concert until somebody else brings up the artist name, once is probably more than enough.

I often return to my Van Morrison CDS, saw him once, with Beast by the way. Neither of us I think would need to see a second show. Lou Reed is another artist that I may listen to hours at a time, saw him twice, once in Detroit in the 80's was almost painfully boring. Dylan's recorded work is dear to me I have given him multiple shots, and after the last in NZ a few years ago, nev

For years I have argued that we have no right to ever concern ourselves about the Stones Legacy. It is, after all , their, not our legacy. If they want to go out with stadium shows and oldies for as long as it will last , they are doing what they want, and its their future , not ours. With this mini tour there are two festivals, two arenas, three rumoured private shows. There have been in the
