While we debate/discuss/dismiss/dream about the 'new' album, let us pause for a moment to recognise the significance of today. Today fellow Stones fans is the day on which good ol' Hot Rocks celebrates its 8th birthday in the Billboard 200. Of course the album has been around for much longer. This is its CHART birthday. It is a decent, if unremarkable, achievement. Several per

QuoteStoneage If it takes them 18 years to put out a new album I think it's wishful thinking to see them continue working in the studio producing new songs. In fact a new tour is more probable than that. That is more back to normal. If they continue making new music it will, most probably, be on their own. Most certainly so in Jagger's case. I certainly did not mean to suggest they
