QuoteRockman THE AUSTRALIAN --------- 29 July 2023 Interesting account of a thoroughly bent copper's impact on the rock scene. I really liked the final sentence... "He was sentenced to four year's jail and was paroled after two but still spent more time in prison than all of his star victims combined". Karma?

My personal guess as to the answer to the dilemma about party or parties is to look to the UK Royal Family for the answer. The monarch has an actual birthday, and also has an official birthday. Scholars here are invited to explain why.... but that's how it is. My theory therefore is that the shindig at the night club was to celebrate the actual birthday, and that the rumoured Chelsea

Not unlike the rumoured concert at The Colosseum in Rome in 1969 I had a long planned holiday in Italy at the time, and when the rumours started to flow I called NME to ask them if they knew the facts behind the story they had printed. They, in turn, gave me the office number for The Stones (!) to call and ask. The person I spoke to there was utterly information free. So, we turn up in R

No-one here is likely to actually KNOW why/how Chris & his partner (or wife?) have got into this apparent mess. I think that the commentary is largely that it seems odd that somehow it has happened.

On the substance... As others have pointed out, she had 74 yrs or so to sort this out. Plus, as folk in the UK are well aware, Brexit brought this sort of issue very much to the forefront with regards to UK residents living overseas, and/or non-UK citizens living in the UK. So it's not as if it's some highly nuanced rarely publicised quirk of migration laws. Yes, it's a cr

Reality check... This entire latest speculation can be traced back to ONE report in the UK Sun newspaper. A rag sheet tabloid not unlike the Daily Mail. Everyone seems to hope that the 'recording with the Stones' bit was true, and that the 'flying to LA' was improbable. Only time will tell if any of it was true after all.
