It isn't different then lots of other musicians, sportsmen, artists, dancers, businessmen etc. do. You talk like Stones were the only one getting lots of money for the things they do.Quote

The Stones have an obvious love for what they do. They don't get paid enough as far as I am concerned. The Stones today are multi-millionaires. They could have retired years ago, yet they continue.
Over half a billion dollars wasn't enough on the last tour? You think they don't get paid enough? Yes, they could have retired years ago - but to leave all that money...
Well, how much did that "journeyman" band U2 make on their last tour? Oh that's right, Bono gave his share all to charity.
More than the Stones did in way less shows playing less shows (110 to 147) with a smaller stage and not saturating the market while selling every show out.
And that upsets you because they made more money than the Stones, more people saw them than the Stones or because they sold out every show unlike the Stones? It's quite a feat but in the end doesn't make a band's career. The Stones that everyone thinks of, loves and remembers has been gone a long time. The actual legacy is fine. Jagger was only interested in the money in 1989 for a tour and nothing's changed since then. Of course it's part of his 'job' to be "creative" with the Stones but only enough for them to work.
Nice, isn't it, to do something you love and get paid millions for doing it.

Ronnie and Charlie were only at the studio to taste the wonderful sorbets of the glacier nearby.

No, it's that Mick would only do it if there was enough money to bother with doing it. Of course they are not the only ones making lots of money for what they do. I don't understand why some people can't accept that it is more/mostly about the money than the music with these big tours. Obviously some Stones fans ignore that. It's the 'bother' part of Mick - if he's going to bother touring with The Rolling Stones he had better be paid a lot for it.
If it wasn't about the money they'd have toured several times already like normal bands do.

Glad to see you made a slight concession here. So it's now MORE/MOSTLY about the money and no longer ALL and ONLY about the money. Let's just agree that it is both about the money AND about love of profession and leave it at that? Is that a fair compromise?

Amazing...Bill's been OUT of the band almost 3 times longer than Brian was in the band.
In some 10-20 years, they will all sit dressed in white jamming together.Quote

It seems Keith cant go anywhere without Jane Rose... maybe he does not feel secure alone around Mick.
Jane was not at the studio on thursday. Probably she didn't extend her stay, I was told that they intended at first to leave on wednesday, with Mick staying one more day. Mick was staying at the studio much longer than the others, arriving one hour later but often leaving around midnight when the others left around eight.
