QuoteThe Sicilian Regardless, a private funeral doesn't mean people can't line the streets and say goodbye as the hearse passes. Common decency means you don't do anything the family doesn't want done. There are other ways to mourn Charlie as a fan that don't upset his family and friends. It's not about what any of us want -- it's what THEY want. And someone w

Nonsense. The Stones have broken boundaries their entire careers and gotten flak from morons about it, and they're doing it once again, working through their later years instead of deciding to curl up in a ball and wait to die provokes an awful lot of people, like you, for example. So, so many people crave their later years because they think it validates their lifelong ambition to be useles

I saw her open for them at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ -- she was nervous as hell, getting her sea legs again after her recovery, Keith was helping her with that. I cringed at some parts, because for some perverse reason, she kept commenting on how young the crowd was, like no one would know or care who she was, as if she wouldn't have anything to give them, and as if any real Stones

Oh God, everyone's so worried about growing old, how about growing up? Stop looking for Daddy to make all your decisions for you -- it's not the Stones' responsibility to determine what you do with your life, it's yours. You have the information, you decide whether or not you want to risk it. Use that dormant organ between your ears and weigh the pros and cons -- even if th

@Grichka One of the great ironies is that Stones fans, with scattered worthwhile exceptions that are only found by fortuitous accident and rarely by approaching any Internet watering holes, can easily be mistaken for any given Rosary Society meeting, fire house rummage sale or Monty Python skit ("Cooee, Jean Paul!!")

When I saw the Who in late '82, Townshend didn't look at the crowd, didn't say a word, had an attitude for the entire show, so you just shrugged, everyone else played great, Daltrey included. Then a few days later, Townshend gave an interview saying he was so upset at this show because Roger's sister had passed away that day -- apparently the poor thing had been ill for some t

I remember an interview with Bill during the '81 tour where the interviewer said something to him like, well, really, the Stones aren't a democracy, what Mick says goes, and Bill said something like, not at all, I'll give you an example, the rest of the band outvoted Mick on our choice for keyboard player for this tour. I think Mick was so disgusted with all the drug use, and Mac w

Read both, then read Neil's and was so grateful that, unlike Keith and Pete, he never mentioned Mick's dick. I hated Keith's, thought it was false, forced and unnecessarily cruel, and not just to Mick, Keith used to be funny and cool, now he TRIES to be funny and cool, and it breaks my heart. Didn't like Pete's too much either, all of that moaning back in the day about ho

I saw Pete 20+ years ago and talked my way backstage, nervous as hell -- I wanted to ask him to sign a program for a celebrity auction we were going to hold to build a new wing on a public library. He gladly agreed and I handed him two programs -- what's the second one for, he asked. For ME, I replied and got a smile and a little twinkle in his eye. What a dear man. The new wing was built,

I knew a girl who paid $120 for a pair of tickets in the yellow section of the Garden scalped to go to the concert for Bangladesh. Her rent was less than that. This is nothing new under the sun, even for a benefit performance. Whatever happened to that bit about being prosecuted if the ticket was resold for more than a buck fifty?
