I was at the front of the stage, in the pit, for Bruce's Vancouver show last November and I didn't have to pay anything extra to be there either. Seeing him again in Munich in May. Seriously, it was the BEST show I have ever attended (with the possible exception of a 1988 Bruce show). I love the Stones, but they could learn a lot from Bruce in terms of pricing, setlists, and connecti

I think the Stones did their best with Bill's songs, so they deserve credit for that. I always thought Ry Cooder was the slide player on "Memo from Turner". Not sure where I heard that...but it does sound like him and he did play on "Sister Morphine".

When we're talking about the money, it's not just the ticket price - don't forget about the merchandising. Some people spend as much on a bag full of $40 t-shirts (that cost $5 to make) with tongues on them as they do on their tickets.

I've seen Dwight in concert without Pete; he's got a pretty solid crew playing with him, so I didnt' miss Pete. On the subject of 3 Pears - for some reason I just can't get into it. I've tried, but there's nothing there to grab me. I love all Dwight's stuff from the 90's though.

I'd say the divide between Catholics and Protestants has had a HUGE impact on where people - particulary those of European descent - live today and our genetic makeup. It was a divide that was finally crossed by my English Anglican grandmother and Irish Catholic grandfather. Personally, I'm glad that religion is no longer the big tribal identity marker it once was - at least in the we

What got me was when he implied Vancouver is in the US, at least according to my reading: "The Stones are also confirmed for 18 U.S. arenas.

Hands-down, the best singer ever in Country Music. I finally got into George a few years back (don't ask what took so long). Anyone who doesn't know about him should do themselves a favour and pick up one of his greatest hits packages. What a voice, what a life! REAL Country Music - Accept No Substitutes!

I saw a film back in 2005 that included the Namelosers, called "Rolling like a Stone". It was mainly of interest to me because of it had some clips of the Stones in it from 1965; but it turned out to also be a poignant study on the passing of the "wilderness of youth".
