From Chicago, living in LA in the early 90s, I picked up the LA Times that said Mr Cub was working for an investment firm in Pasadena and I was 5 miles away working in Arcadia. I called the company, left him a message and he called me back. I invited him to a Clipper playoff game and he asked me to come by his office and I did. We talked for an hour about Chicago and the Cubs, the crummy Pizz

I was there in 81 at the Coliseum in LA and the second show was worse as many people went back for show two and did the same - throwing stuff and booing him off stage even faster. The biggest issue was he was wore something like Lingerie for an outfit, like women's lingerie and thats wasn't cool back then, even in LA...

Looks like train or driving from Dusseldorf are choices for first leg- any suggested stops along the way if we drive Friday AM leaving Dusseldorf and want to arrive early eve Friday night? Looking for things to do in Amsterdam Fri and Sat nights June 20-21 and Sun day 6/22- suggestions appreciated Thanks!

We'll be coming from Austin TX for the Dusseldorf show and want to see a bit of Europe after the show as we have another 2 weeks... Anyone suggest transportation recommendations between these cities please: Dusseldorf to Amsterdam - Assume train but is there one that is nicer, better, direct? Amsterdam for a few days - suggestions on some must do things that are not typical tourist

Given the social network skill and time L'Wren spent on social media prior to her demise, its not a stretch to think she was reading everything here and on the gossip sites, which IMO, played a hand in her unfortunate decision, again IMO, but considering some sites accurately predicted her demise, its a pretty scary thought. The responsibility of social media can clearly be daunting when

Glad you didn't take the bait on writing the dirt, and after all, I wonder how many really will care about these details. Your writing is above this level. Lots of us envy your job, and loved the stuff you did on baseball too... Good job on not getting banned, and in bringing up a touchy topic and getting your debate on. Just enjoy the music and the show and let the politics work them

HB, the first thing you said was your "out" and then you keep going. Your point is ok, but its a friggin suicide, and its MJ, so are you expecting some form of normal protocol? Its obvious Ron is the only one of the 3 who cares about social media, and he said the proper /polite thing... Do you expect a tweet or FB post from Charlie?

Mick- Take care of yourself, and all of the family involved, as you clearly are the rock, and your leadership skills will help everyone get through this. I can't even imagine trying to play the next couple shows, and maybe any of the next few weeks worth of shows, but that's really only your call. Just make the best decision for yourself, and don't worry about anybody else. And

I was at that show at the forum, they made that into the nicest big barn in the country, IMO. I've seen the stones 60+ times, I've seen the Eagles 15 times, both since the early 70s. I totally agree with HB. The way the Eagles did the show was super cool. I wouldn't copy everything exactly, for obvious reasons, but there are so many stories, so much video, and the charm o

Just got back from the opening night of the tour, and the reopening of The Forum in LA. Apparently the Madison Square Garden Corp bought the place and put in $100m in new seats, floor, sound system, lighting, etc. It was like a new building, and the sound was as good as any large arena I’ve seen a show at. Would be a great place for the Stones to do a stand, and I’m guessing that’s in the cards

If he sat at the piano with only bobby keys on sax and played somewhere over the rainbow with a well thought out slideshow playing, there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house Follow that with a rotation of happy or btmmr or a rarer up tempo number and his set will kick ass

I say they'll take time off and then make another album and do another mini tour around it with shows in places they can earn similar gross margins as they did in the States. Sounds like Glastonbury wasn't as profitable, any numbers on Hyde Park? These guys are not quitters, and I think Charlie goes along with what Mick will do and Keith's influence on what happens with the Sto

The Top 10 reasons Keith hit some bum notes on SMU at Hyde Park: 10. per Carnaby : If that's the way Keith plays it, that's the way the song goes. (Yup) 9. His tech missed the tuning check up. (Doubtful) 8. Distracted by his and Mick's kids running around (Possible) 7. Sabotage by Mick Taylor to get an opportunity to play more songs (not likely) 6. per Powerage: an o

This was a pro shot for the video release, so the idea is not to experiment. Who would have ever thought after The latest Mick and Keith battle that we could say they played Hyde Park with Mick Taylor playing on Rambler? We're fortunate we picked a band to follow that has no quit in them. Hope they take a few months off and come back strong in the late Fall and into 2014, and they record so

Reading the reports and seeing the setlist etc, my guess is this is not indicative of what the Stones final US show ever will be. I predict an MSG stand around Keith's BD, with some Fall stadiums that follow the warm weather before hand, I.E.
