I think that after 50 years it's a little tough to have 'new stuff under the sun' even if they are still able to pull out first-time plays of past singles. If you're reading, keep on rolling please, Mick!

Agreed - notwithstanding the mauling they deservedly got over the attempt to overcharge the market - I think the standard of the current tour is WAY above expectations from say a year ago.

I think that's essentially correct - these days they are all like 'managers' simply responding to huge global events in the best way they can.

QuoteTitle5Take1 I'm reading Prince Rupert's book, and much of chapter seven is about how much the Stones have been ripped off and ripped off and how fans paid high prices for tickets where the price was jacked up by "middle men" (Bill Graham comes across as a complete scum bag). Chapter seven helps put some of the Stones' current ticket prices in context. I just read it too. It see

I'd have more time for Morrissey if he stayed away from politics - wot a load of bollocks he writes. He's making himself look foolish. **** Singer Morrissey's Scathing Letter to the Public About Margaret Thatcher: "A Terror Without an Atom of Humanity" Thatcher is remembered as The Iron Lady only because she possessed completely negative traits such as persistent stubbornness

I think, at the heart of it, it's that the Stones see what they do as some sort of amazing, enjoyable, hard-work career ... rather than an artistic endeavour. So they have no problem at all about charging high rates as they (rightly) see themselves at the top of the pile in terms of R'n'R. And the old line about nobody having to go and see them if they don't want to pay those prices is unde

I just read Prince Rupert Lowenstein's book on his life and times with the Stones. There's a very interesting part where he mentions lawyers & insurers talking about one day needing to put the Stones in the "Pavarotti pile". This apparently refers to insurers only agreeing to cover the singer for a maximum of 3 gigs at a time. This must be exactly what is happening to the
