I love the tabloid's breathless reporting that the drinks were free all night - like Mick might have held a Bring a Bottle party or made them pay at the bar!!

I've always felt they were still very much in the game with Some Girls. That was when I started listening to them properly and I know quite a few of my contemporaries for whom it was the intro album to the Stones for a generation who grew up well after they were formed. It sounded a fresh and vibrant take on the disco/punkish trends.

Many Happy Returns to Sir Mick. An amazing life so far - may he have many more healthy happy years. You can't always get what you want - but Mick has got closer than most of us.

People are harsh. Ronnie is a professional musician and plainly loves to play and entertain. He's also a recovering addict and cancer survivor - I rather imagine it's good for him to keep busy and live each day to the full. Long may he continue.

Amazed at the the medical diagnosis going on here on so little evidence, especially when Mick has been fairly visible in public recently. Ditto Ronnie, who looked fine a few weeks ago at the James Burton gig - I saw with my own eyes - or as fine as a man of his age in remission from repeated bouts of cancer is likely to look. I may as well join in. I don't like the look of Keith's di

It seems to me that Mick has become a better father as he has got older. It looks as if he has spent more time with Melanie's son as a youngster than pretty much any of his other children. As for money, let's not forget poor Marsha Hunt had to take him to court to get maintenance for his eldest when he was a young man whereas inseams clear Melanie is well provided for.

Struggling to link to photos! I really enjoyed the evening - and most of the performers seemed to as well. There was a late start due to some technical difficulty - we could hear Brian May's plaintive voice saying "Can you hear me?" but the curtain remained down for ten mins. Once they got going the first half was tremendous fun. Ronnie was, appropriately, wearing his blue su

I know it's considered lightweight by some fans but I think Honky Tonk Women is the quintessential Stones song - classic Charlie drum fill, attention grabbing guitar riff, louche opening line in inimitable Mick drawl, sexual innuendo and nonsense lyrics with the best dance beat.

I think all the references to meat and the skin or wrapping (ie the outer covering which disguises the inner content) are a lot more layered than references to hamburgers. As with most Jagger lyrics, he's talking about sex, at least on one level.
