I started purchasing insurance for expensive travel, mostly due to my parents age & health and the fact that a trip could be interrupted at any time by a call from home. Travelsafe (dot com) was recommended to me by a tour company recently and they have a "cancel for any reason" policy that allows you to recover most of your money if something happens. I haven't needed to make

I wish I were kidding here but, no, I don't have every album I bought. The Partridge Family LPs went away around the late seventies and the Kiss records were used as frisbees in the early eighties! As for the Stones, I still have everything I've acquired on vinyl and I'm duplicating that on CD.

I assume you're talking about the Jean Luc Godard film from 1968. I saw it a couple of years ago for the first time and was bored to death. The only redeeming feature I found was watching the Stones creating the song in the studio. What really turned me off, though, was all the attention paid to a lot of gun-toting Black Panthers hanging around a junkyard. That opinion is biased considering

True story: I had dinner with a lady I used to work with a couple of years ago. I'm 44 and she's a couple of years older than me. When the conversation turned to music, I told her that I really liked the Stones. Her response was "what kind of music do they play?"

Anyone other than myself plan on attending the Mayall gig at the 100 Club on 3 April?
Forum: Tell Me

I've attended only one show outside the USA (Wembly Arena Aug. '03) and enjoyed it much better than the two stateside shows that tour. I really think it comes down to how they're feeling on any given night as well as the concert-goer.

The summer months are the most expensive travel time for Europe. I decided not to go to there for the Stones this time mostly due to that fact. I'll be going in March/April instead. You can sign up on sites like Travelocity that will e-mail you when fares drop for your destinations. Also check your airline's site daily for sales. You can also save a bit by traveling mid-week rather than

Halftime begins immediately afer the second quarter. Sorry, not trying to be a smart ass, but there's too many variables involved in pinning down a close enough time when that will be.

Being the lazy sort that I am, I tend to play one CD over and again until I'm bored to death with it. As I write this, I'm listening to Rarities for the umpteenth time. I really like that version of TD.
