Quotewith sssoulLady Jayne, i recall you saying just after the wedding that Keith didn't look well to you. if you said that Ronnie looked like he's been drinking heavily i must have missed that. libel laws are a bit weird in many ways.

While the Sun's taste, spelling, bye-lines are indeed crap, their legal department has been fairly efficient and very active since the disasters of the 80's. That tends to mean in respect of those who can afford to sue they have the sources to back up the story. While the Stones are not particularly litigious about personal failings ( a different matter where breach of copyright or co

QuotebumbumRonnie didn't look like a guy drinking 2 bottles of vodka a day at his daughters wedding 2 wweks ago. There was no sign of problems, infact he looked very well, so it is as usual rubbish. I beg to differ. He looked extremely 'unwell' outside Southwark Cathedral although not quite so unsteady on his feet as Keith. I also thought he was fairly wasted at the SAL prem

It does seem as if they have as little to do with each other as possible. Mick buttons his lip in public and Keith trots out the same cheap shots. I love Keith and his legacy is secure, but I do agree that Mick is the one who keeps the show on the road now (which according to some on this board is nothing to applaud!) Both men have their weaknesses and strengths but Keith's alcoholism can

I would think by industry standards they are magnificent employers. Their longevity as a working band coupled with the fact most people stay with them for donkeys years, suggests that employment on the Stones bandwagon is the music industry equivilent of a civil service job for life!

QuoteJustinI'm sure that the young crowd was excited to see the Stones at the Isle of Wight Festival because younger fans are for the most part shut out of Stones concerts on tours because of the incredible prices.

QuoteGazza The main thing that stops the Stones being seen as 'cool' by people under 25 is that their concerts are financially inacessible. Its significant that when the Stones played the Isle of Wight festival last year - which attracts a primarily younger audience to what they usually do - they went down a storm with an audience which, for the most part, was seeing them for the first

Who defines what is cool or uncool? Dylan gets an easy ride with music journalists etc and still produces critically acclaimed work. On the other hand, the last gig I went to was tedious as hell and a lot of empty seats. I think if you showed his photo to most teenagers today they wouldn't recognise him.
