QuoteStoneage Yep, to exaggerate or speculate is one thing but to conceal or diminish isn't much better. I think facts are quite clear here. Not one hundred percent but pretty close. You don't even need Ockham's razor... Nicely put Stoneage (even though I had to look up the Ockham's razor thingy) Life is short Good to keep learning though

Quote35love I see a LOT of generalizing in your post ycagwyw. Are you speaking solely of Bill’s marriage to Mandy? No way am I defending it, but from her, he waited and then married her at 18. All the RS were there, her parents, whatever. As for all the rest, you are generalizing about ‘all the young girls.’ Yes, it makes me vomit, predatory child sexual abuse. I say, be very care

It would be so easy to come here and talk about BW the musician. I could just say: loved Bill with the Stones, great bass player, loved the Stones since he left too, blah blah blah, might make me boring with no real depth of musical knowledge, but I know what I like. Saw Bill few years back with Rythym Kings, small London venue, great evening. Biggest cheer of the evening, when they covered a S

Some people have asked for recommendations or ideas for places to visit/sightseeing as they will be here for some holiday time too. So just to say, try and visit a castle or two, or more. There are so many I think we barely notice them and take these beautiful places for granted, eg, between London and the coast at Dover, try Leeds, Sissinghurst, Rochester, Hever Castles to name but a few.

Speaking as an 'average' fan, I think it's all relative. I paid £95 for GA at Hyde Park 2013, now got tickets for £130 ea, but seated, for first London stadium show. So, better tickets, 5 years on, a bit more expensive. But this compares quite favourably to a top London theatre ticket, or a good Wimbledon ticket (if I could even get one). Yeah, my first ticket in'66 was £

Quoteryanpow Interesting Jim Morrison comparison. Related to that, sound-wise, the R N R version of Parachute Woman has always sounded Doors-esque to me. The Stone's set is underrated. As a performer, Mick Jagger may have felt insecure about it and thought that the Who blew them off the stage, but as an observer I think their part holds up just fine. I've seen The Who and The Ston
