Just heard Rough Justice. I'm beginning to understand why the Grammys give out separate awards for Best Song and Best Record. This is a good record. It SOUNDS good. But it's not a good song. In fact, there isn't much of a song there at all.

WCSX 94.7 in Detroit will play Rough Justice at 12 noon EST.

The thing about the '97 Silverdome incident is that it happened while the Stones were onstage, during the JJF encore, in fact. One version of the story is that this guy was dancing on the railing and fell. A more likely version has him dancing down the aisle toward the railing and he couldn't put the brakes on and fell over the railing. Just imagine having this as your final thought on

It's probably fewer than the number of people who have died at Grateful Dead shows, but I know it must be a considerable number. I was at the Dec. 2, 1997 Silverdome show when out of the corner of my eye, I saw something about the size of a person flying thru the air. "Nah", I thought. "It couldn't be." But It was.

Worth searching for: The Saint Of Me CD single. Includes the best official live version of Gimmie Shelter, recorded at the club gig they did just before the start of the '97 tour.

I used to drive around all night listening to Sticky Fingers. Moonlight Mile sounds amazing on a lonely country road at 3 in the morning.

Some woman about my age (46) said this to me the other day, referring, of course, to my Stones Tee. Then she starts waxing nostalgic about some '81 dome show. "You know" I said, "It's not over. It's not all in the past. They're touring this year." I got a blank look. She was clueless. This kind of thing drives me nuts. Older "fans" who don't

Major CSNY fan here! You guys are right about Stills having lost his voice. It's been totally shot for at least the last five years, but I saw CSN last summer and they rocked harder than I have ever heard them rock without Neil. Interestingly,Stills seems to be trying overcompensate for his lost voice by turning his amps way up. You should have seen all the old farts in the crowd sitting on

Very disapointed that they are opening in Detroit. Was hoping for Black Eyed Peas. Doesn't matter. I'll probably still be at the casino when Maroon 5 is on stage.

The lyrics of American Pie chronicle the history of Rock and Roll. Listen for the Woodstock reference: "And then we were all in one place, a generation lost in space." (the moon landing had taken place a month before Woodstock.) Then there is a whole thing about the Stones '69 "combacK" tour culminating at Altamont: "So come one Jack be nimble, Jac

When the Stones played Ford Field in Detroit in 2002, it was the first time they had played in downtown Detroit since the 1970s and I was kind of expecting, hoping, actually, to see some people who actually LIVE in Detroit at the concert. I'm sure the Stones would have been pleased if that had been the case. But at Ford Field, in the middle of a city that is 82% black, I think I saw one blac

How about something they NEVER play that would: a) put them in the earliest possible historical context, and at the same time b) be familiar to almost everyone in the audience, but for the wrong reason, and would therefore c) be a nod and wink to the knowledgeable few Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: I WANNA BE YOUR MAN!

The final tour, coming to a county fair near you, will be billed as "The Rolling Stones, Featuring Long-time Guitarist Ron Wood" and will take place sometime around the year 2033. Assuming you're still alive, would you show up at a thing like that? Of course you would. Better than nothing, you'd say. But you'd probably hate yourself in the morning.

Nothing wrong with my copy. I like this CD. I call it Big Hits Volume 4. Everything Is Turning To Gold is a great track and is otherwise available only as the B-side of Beast Of Burden. There's also a otherwise unavailable live version of When The Whip Comes Down that seems to have been recorded at a 1978 theatre gig, and an alternate version of Dance Pt. 1.

They've got to do three things: 1. Promote the new CD 2. Play some songs for the thousands of people in the audience who have never owned a Stones album, or, if they did, it was HOT ROCKS 3. Amuse and delight those of us who want to hear them to play the B-sides of their 60s hits!

My favourite is the bit about them being "proud sponsors of the American dream". You have to have ACHIEVED the Ameican dream in order to be able to see them! Or maybe you can get the cash by refinancing your mortgage, which just happens to be the very business that tour sponsor Ameriquest is in!
