QuoteGasLightStreet Unless the insurers decline, The Rolling Stones will be touring for years. Health, obviously, granted. No doubt. But I just don't get why money is a motivator for these guys to tour. They already have more money than God. What can Mick do with $800 million that he can't do with $500 million?? Drew

Quoterollmops QuoteMelBelli Mick said he was taken with the architecture of bridges, and that was going to be the name of the album — “Bridges.” And then the playwright Tom Stoppard suggested adding “…to Babylon.” In 1996 Bill Clinton used "the Bridge" as an image and a slogan to connect the 20th century with the 21 th; the bridge was cool around that time!

It occurred to me that, if you add up the number of people that Mick has brought joy (or at least pleasure) to in his lifetime, he may well be miles ahead of every other human being in history. Is anyone else even in the running? Drew

QuoteKoen I thought it was fun to watch. I did too. It's a pity that each of the "dolls" has only one move, repeated over and over and over. Especially a shame with Mick. Would have been cool if they had captured many more of his hundreds of moves. Still, a fun interpretation of a classic. Drew

Quotetimmyj3 As an adult, my opinion on Black and Blue has only improved slightly. I 100% respect what the Stones did at that point in time. I view this LP as the chronological end to the Exile thru Black and Blue era. I view Exile more in the B&B, Its only RnR, Goats Head Soup era than the previous Big 3. I hold IORR, GHS, in higher regard than most on this board is my feeling. When looking

QuoteVoodooLounge13 It would be great if they recorded the new album in analog, but I just did a lil research on the current Queen of the Charts, and even Taylor is recording digitally.
