Even if that's the case, Mick Jagger is first and foremost a businessman and in this for the money---and there is no way in God's green earth Mick would pass up making a killing on something a potentially profitable as a 50th anniversary tour (especially since Mick knows how much most of us would be willing to pay to see the Stones with Wyman and Taylor again).

Well, I've always looked at Keith as a role model for no other reason than the fact that he's the ultimate example that no matter how deep a hole one digs themselves in, one can always manage to get themselves out.

Took me a while to come around to this one. "Luxury" is completely underrated and "Dance Little Sister" is a great song to rock out in a bar. "Time Waits For No One" is a lost treasure and of course the title track is a Bona-fide Stones classic. Could have done without "Short & Curlies" "Till the Next Goodbye" and "If You Really Want to B

QuoteKSIE The Stones have had a long history of leaving excellent songs off of their albums, going back to JJF and HTW. Have to wonder if it's not a business decision to market some single-only tracks (in these instances great singles) to maximize the number of products available for purchase. I think that had less to do with bad choices than it did with standard practice going on in Brit

Haven't paid enough attention in this area to give an input and I've always found that the best Stones (or rock t-shirts) are found in specialty rock stores like the one on Hollywood Blvd. That said, on B2B I saw a t-shirt of Keith c.1975 with flowers, skulls and "Happy" printed on it. Still whipping myself for not buying it.

QuoteStoneage HB: In Norway everything costs twice as much as in Sweden. So the Norwegians travel to Sweden for vacation or simply to buy things (even food). Norway must be the most expensive country in the world. In Sweden people laugh when they hear what things cost in Norway. On the other hand their incomes are a bit higher so many Swedes travel there to work, and Norway is one of the riches
