The first purchase has got to be a live album: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out and Live Licks are quite possibly the best among them.

To my knowledge, none of these bands have played there after the shit hit the fan again in 2000. Two years ago, Madonna cancelled her three shows in Israel citing security concerns.

With all due respect, I think that's a terrible idea.

I don't know what his beef is with the Stones. They may be in their 60s, but they still put on the best show there is to see. And their new material may not be Exile quality, but it's certainly better than anything Bon Jovi EVER put out.

I find the comparison between last year (before the tour was announced) and this year to be a bit worrisome. If I can remember correctly, last year this website had dead-on accurate information about the upcoming US tour well before any dates were officially announced. This year, there is no information to speak of that hasn't already been issued through official pronouncements. I am not sur

Song Review by Bill Janovitz Taking one of the well-worn pages from their Chuck Berry songbook, the Rolling Stones raunch it up on their famous putdown of a woman as a "@#$%&" — which was the song's original title until pressure from legendary Atlantic Records (who distributed the Rolling Stones Records imprint) honcho Ahmet Ertegun forced the band's hand.

I listen to @#$%& before going out on a date. I listen to The Worst when I drive home from the same date (especially if that takes place the next morning).

I completely agree. The No Security cd has, indeed, some real gems. I would also submit that the versions of Gimme Shelter and You Got Me Rocking are the best out there. Love Thief In the Night, too.

Tomk To copy and paste is certainly a good way to quote someone out of context. I take the "I watch with glee..." line to be an indictment of both sides of a conflict who claim to have some kind of god on their side.

Not a problem. I make a living studying politics and teaching political science, so referring to it as "bullshit" hit a nerve that was perhaps a bit too sensitive to begin with.
