Bianca: This may sound stupid, but I think that it has always been safer for a man to favour Keith in this, perpetual, "Keith or Mick" discussion. A man "idolizing" Mick could look a bit silly or be mistaken for not having a normal sexuality. Maybe, all this have changed a bit now when Keith's reputation has fallen a bit?

I forgot to pay tribute to the message of the thread. John Belushi was a very talented comedian who died far too young. May he rest in peace.

His brother is on a sit-com regularly aired on one of my cable channels. Of course, it's complete and utter crap but I hope he's getting well paid!

They almost give away (standard) CD-players nowadays. You can get one for 20 Euro easily. Of course, the audiophiles wouldn,t consider them... .

I have always considered Stones a classic rock band, and Zepp a hard rock band (however a melodic, bluesy hard rock). So I wouldn't compare the two.

One funny thing is that when I grew up (pre-teens) listening to English (-spoken) rock and pop the lyrics were totally secondary, simply because you didn't understand much of it. Rock- and popmusic is an American/English format so you have to relate to that. Sweden is a small country (not in size, but in population) so if you want to break internationally you have to sing in English. I don&#

Yes, demographics is a key word here, 71 Tele. The advertisers decides which groups that are commercially relevant. It often tends to be women between 20-35 years old. The average Rolling Stones listener, for example, is considered too old. Here in Sweden we used to have a very good public service radio channel, P 3, that played popular music aimed at people between 15-65. Now they have changed a

You are right, Treaclefingers. The thread is distorted. Popular music is a wider concept than your personal taste! You might not like the 80-ties music but in those days popular music and the music industry still thrived. MTV was booming, the tabloids had detailed music supplements and reviews, you could still watch a decent music-show on TV, record stores weren't scarce, a band releasing a

This is an (too) extensive subject. I will try to keep it simple. When MTV started to show everything but music-videos was a starter. Then the internet that made music accessible for free, whick killed of more than half of the record companies and made record collecting redundant ( a positive effect though was that many band had to tour more). To survive the record business had to try other forma

I saw a glimmer of hope for a 2011 tour, Stones 78. This 2012 prospect kind of let me down... .

...there will be almost 1½ year till the (next/last) Rolling Stones tour starts in the summer of 2012. I was just wondering: What are we gonna do on this forum until then? Discuss setlists or start quarrels and get banned? Or what?

Thanks, Rolling Hansie. At least there are some sensible posters on this forum! Certain (other) posters makes me scared!

Prime Minister of Sweden during 1969 to 1976 and 1982 until his death. Leader of the Swedish Social Democratic Party from 1969 until his assassination in 1986. Murdered on the streets of Stockholm close to midnight on February 28, 1986. The last politician I truly admired. A great statesman and intellectual with a great deal of courage and warmth. He is greatly missed. Rest in peace.

Yep, lame isn't the right word. Unpretentious maybe? Basically, it's a standard sit-com. A very succesful and longlived sit-com though.

I guess the Norwegians couldn't stomach a Swede winning the men's Cross Country Sprints. That's why it's so quiet in here. Norwegians have been known to indulge in hybris the last decades. You know, the oil and everything... !!

Sweden started very well in Holmenkollen, Oslo with Marcus Hellner's gold in the Cross Country Sprints. Marit Björgen won the gold, as anitcipated, in the womens discipline. Maybe there are some IORR-ians following this great event live on place in Holmenkollen, Oslo?

A great song and a nice gesture by both Bono and Mick. Mick should have made more of these earlier on. They don't seem to mix very well on stage though.

Many of the warhorses. Especially HTW, JJF, MY and SF! They have simply been overplayed! Satisfaction isn't a sensation when you hear for the 350-th time! The big problem with the Stones is that their post 1981 catalouge is so lame. So they haven't been able to refresh their playlist as much as would have been prefered.

"Dirty Work" was a catastrophe, "Undercover" merely a disappointment.

I think that the ´81 tour was the last tour they managed to add something to a 60-ies tune like "Under my thumb" to make it sound fresher and more up to date. If it's better or not - you can judge for yourself. At least they tried to do something new with it to make it sound interesting 15 years after its release. Something they never dared to do from ´89 and on.
