Tell Me :
Talk
Going by their posts, they're clearly a lost cause.
For example, I was in a hairdresser's a few weeks ago, and the bimbo with the scissors (who was probably around 30, so old enough to know better, you'd think) asked me what music I liked. When I told her, she asked 'Isn't Keith Richards in that group'? After answering in the affirmative, I mentioned that I was surprised she'd mentioned Keith and not Mick Jagger. She replied that she had heard of Mick Jagger but didn't know he was in the Rolling Stones. She knew a bit more about Keith because he was 'in that film with Johnny Depp'.
That's the sort of demographic who probably make up most of the 'likes' on a facebook page. 10 million? If only the Stones albums sold a quarter of that.
Pointless these people even 'knowing who they are'. They wont be paying Stones ticket prices anyway (a generation of fans lost due to the band's greed) and wont be buying their records (a generation of fans lost due to the band's reluctance to make more than one record each decade)

pretty funny
I'd bet you'd be thrilled if even 2 people actually liked you.
RIMSHOT!!
but honestly i don't think there is much hope for that demographic. rock is almost a fringe music form compared to what actually sells now.
I think there's even another thread on that so we've probably beaten that topic to death as well.
ah well, there's always looking forward to the next Pirate's movie.
Make that four.
Well, I got you so just need to find another.....
Okay make that TWO BUCKS now!
I'll try and help!
A true friend.
WOW 7/12 wow

What's to celebrate?
I'd rather 6 real people 'liked' me than 6 million people in cyberspace who I'd never met.
When you read the 'comments' made by the Stones 'fans' on that site, it makes colonial's random musings read like the work of Jean-Paul Sartre.
Its basically full of kids who seem to be under the impression the Stones are making the posts themselves and whose level of fandom or ability to express themselves rarely extends beyond anything more profound than "Please come to (insert city or country of your choice. The more obscure the better) " or "U r the best - we love u"....
Great news to hear the kids even know who they are. I thought this generation was lost!

I celebrate by not putting out any of my personal information on any social media web site like Facebook.
I'm like you, but pretty soon if everyone is on, they'll KNOW who we are if there are only two of us left.
Make that three.
Make that four.

I will celebrate when the Facebook use declines and starts to not longer be almost an obligatory for internet users. Facebook is really the Big Brother Orwell was talking about.
If this goes on soon you will not be able to do anything without a Facebook account!

If current trends hold, The Rolling Stones will be liked by their eleven
millionth Facebook member on or about July 12 of this year. Thus July 12, 2012 is
likely to become one of the most important anniversaries in Rolling Stones
history, both because eleven million is a very cool number and because pressing
the Facebook "like" button represents an extraordinary commitment to the band
by people from all walks of life, including mainly students, who are the
lifeblood of pop music much like sunshine is the lifeblood of a good landscape
painting. The rumors are strong that former Rolling Stones bass guitar player
virtuoso Bill Wyman will make a short cameo appearance in the otherwise lengthy
74 second video by the band rumored to be under production very soon during one
of their exciting and increasingly frequent "jam" sessions when they practice
playing. Although Wyman's appearance will be brief, 1.7 secs, it will still set the
record for his longest appearance ever in a Rolling Stones video. Everybody
should attend a watching of the video party therefore on July 12 to make this
day even more special and memorable. "Eleven Million Day"! It may only happen
once, but it will be remembered way more than eleven million times forever.
WOW 7/12 wow
AND THE Girl at the checkout didn't know who Mick Jagger was!!! LOL
