The big question for me now is whether individuals actively still ought to try to avoid covid infection or will do as good, maybe not directly seeking it, but still only let it happen, when omicron is the prevailing variant.

Still what is decisive for my attitude, is what the Rolling Stones, by themselves, feel ab

If it was fully out of their own volition that they stopped playing "Brown Sugar" live, that is fine with me. So very well! If someone else, directly or indirectly, led them to the decision, I deeply regret it. I do not want to say more. In the former case, I will not myself miss it either. In fact, I would have liked all songs played live more than 25 times during the latest tour
