I cant decide this yet. I really wanted to go to Boston to see the Stones Opening concert---otherwise I promised my whole Family to go to cologne this day To see the pope benedikt XIX at the WORLD YOUTHS FeSTIVAL. They exspect a crowd of more than 900000 people there. I really want to see BOTH. So what??

Just make up your mind whether you want to rock, or see an old man in a frock.

Can't be that difficult....

There will always be another pope, but never another Stones. Join us in Boston, when The Nordic Stones Vikings go bezerk!

Vilhelm
Nordic Stones Vikings

hahahahahaha... if you really are having trouble deciding, I don't think this is the band for you.

Screw Pope Rat Stinker and dance with Mr.D.

hahahahahaha--TSEVERIN

I am a stones-Fans since 1964. I live in germany and saw my last US STONES-concerts in 1978 (ANAHEIM ) 35th Birtday of mick.

I agree a lot what the Pope says----

It's a bit unfair what you're talking about, there are people you might think different. OK for ourselves it's easy because we joint the Sontes not eofre Calgary and then running down the West coast, but for someone who has a different level and thinking about Boston it0s different. Mind you if you check out the Stones' interviews all is not so far in between. it's only far away yes.

If you can take the heat
Go to the Stones
Either way is gonna be hot as hell!!

The (true) pope: Mick Jagger.

Forget the Nazi

Go to the Stones


ER,no offence,only joking etc.

Shut up, Straycat. Either the Pope or me is a Nazi. Höpe you will Think a little bit

Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints

My friend is going to Cologne for this festival and he is pretty excited about it but at the same time he is not able to go to see The Stones like you.I think that The Stones is a right choice.This might be the last tour of The Stones(well hopefully it won't be) so maybe u'd better go and see them.

You can go to Pope singing:

"I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought gor ten decades for the gods they made".

A kind of POP(E) music...

This German pope is even more conservative than JP2. It's time that all religious bullshit is banned. See the result in the Netherlands, where religious fanatism is leading to. People should think more by themselves instead of believing in higher powers.
Havo, go to Boston, see the Stones...

Hi Havo,

What does the family think?

i went to see the pope a good few years back < i only went as the wife persuaed me > and to be honest it dident do nothing for me and there wouldent be no choice if it was between the stones or the pope but it would be interesting if it clashed with my wifes beliefes.

Both of your heroes seem not to be very young boys... Wonder that the Stones don't make World's Youth Festival...

My advice: there will be more Stones shows to attend. Try Pope. Much cheaper too, I think.

Sjouke, if you believe in yourself you already start believing in higher powers, whatever that meant to be.
The decision to make whether you should go to and when is your own thing. Havo started quite an interesting issue, but as you see he is unsure of what to do. In German one would say: you can't dance on two weddings at the same time.
For my turn I would go an see the Pope if that is the main issue and would see the Stones another day on the Tour. But for me it's not the issue as I do not want to go to Cologne neither to Boston.

I once knew a priest (now deceased) who was to be part of the official welcome party for the last pope when he visited Scotland in 1982. Unfortunitely the party clashed with the Stones concert at the Glasgow Apollo and he decided since he devoted his life to serving the Pope it wouldn't do any harm to have a day off and to go to the Stones gig instead. He told me that it didn't go down too well when the Bishop realised that he wasn't there. The Bishop asked one of the other Priests, "Where is he?", "Actually sir, he'll be a bit late, he's gone to see the Rolling Stones instead" Respect! And he had fine collection of Stones albums too!

I think I've bust a button on my trousers....

Go and see the Pope. If that is what your family want you to do you should see the Pope. Then you can see the Stones any other place you like really.

Nice story skelly.

Got and see the pope like I do - Im not in cologne because of the pope but in cause of the great festival to see people from all around the world.
Hey and the stones are the best and sure also every concert but there are many places to see them but to sleep with the family at marienfeld and have a good time it is for this day more worth

The previuous pope declared Keith as god (or somehing, i can't really remember the picture where he is holding the newspaper) so that gives you enough clearence to go see the stones i think!

Cheers,
Wuudy

When had Benedict XVI, Benedict XVII and Benedict XVIII passed away??

(Only a joke)




[There'll be no wedding today...]

I also think you should go see the pope. If you are even having to ask the question to yourself and us then it is weighing on your mind. You want to do right by your family. You wouldn't be able to enjoy the show. That's cool. You go see the pope and have a great time with your family and Benedictinus. Then you zoom down to the next city where you will find a great deal on a Stonesticket. You will have a good time, saved tons of money AND you have pleased the Lord.

Yeah, the picture is great can't find it anywhere at the moment...
It has the headline: Pope declares, Keith is god
So, just tell your family - what do you want to see, god's representative or god himself and take them all to Boston

Seriously, if it's so important go and see the pope, I think... there are enough possibilities to catch the Stones!


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

Can anyone explain what that famous headline (that Keef is pope's boss) is all about? What's the story behind? Has anyone really seen the actual article?

- Doxa

Doxa, I'm pretty sure it is a joke. there is no story.

"This German pope is even more conservative than JP2. It's time that all religious bullshit is banned. See the result in the Netherlands, where religious fanatism is leading to."


Sjouke, agree 150 % ! But if Havo has a different opinion let him go to the Pope...
