It appears my last post was too controversial and was censored by the internet police. So, given that death is taboo, even though it is inevitable, lets see how we do or don,t worry about our hero,s ealth these days. I think for starters charlie sees to be clear of his cancer scare?

Well i went to see my therapist yesterday and, would you believe, decided we had more important things to discuss than The Rolling Stones.....................me! Money well spent imo and put a fair wind into my sails. So if you will excuse me, yours cordially, sailing to a less serious place, Jack!

Listening to sympathy on the car radio today i flipped the channel, someting i would never have done in the past. It made me realise how angry i am with the stones! Then i thought - maybe i need to talk to my therapist about it - but then i thought, hang on.....paying my therapist to talk about how angry i am about being ripped off by the stones is going to make me feel even more ripped off!

Good points Paulywaul. Get this, my son is taking his girlfriend to hyde park, (to hang outside!) they can,t afford tickets. He reckons picking up on the vibe will be good enough. Glad i bought him tickets for the who or his birthday, and he will always have the stones in lisbon to remember!

I agree totally dmay and gibson. Like you guys, many fond memories but this is a step too far. In a way though it was inevitable that it would end this way. There was never going to be an easy way or an "honourable" way to check out and in the end like many "superstars" they end up in a different world believing their own press. Thanks for the memories.

Agreed 100% BV. Premier Inns, Ibis, even Travelodge are consistent in that they are basic but you know they will be clean and the cost is basically how close you are to centre. Go further out it will be cheaper and if you can share the cost of a taxi back it will be less than the difference in price. There are several big hotels in wembley that won,t be busy so long as there is nothing on in the

Hey Mick, what about a Brixton Academy or Sheppherds Bush for the old farts pre Hyde Park. Give the tickets to BV to distribute at face value. I am sure he will work out a fair way of distribution. What say ya cock?

Taking small kids to a Stones gig. Are you serious? answer, no - you are stupid. Even if you get through it without any trauma do you think they are going to benefit from it? I made a point of taking all of my kids to a stones gig over the last two tours, one at a time, at 24, 21 and 21

Its a joke, someone has hacked in and done this. That set up wouldn,t work as people at the sides wouldn,t see anything and the pinch point would be dangerous, manned by Grrrrrillas no doubt!

Sorry bv but yes it is about priority and what some of us are saying is that they, the stones, need to adjust their priorities to acknowledge that for most of us in the west, suffering the greatest recession in history, where we are worse off that when we last payed to see them shouldn,t be asked to pay more to see them when we are worse off. The price increases on tickets are greater than inflat

Thanks for the humour guys. Am feeling much better now! Still won,t be paying those prices should next year happen, and that is just sad (for me).

Reading all the euphoria in the reports, and having been so on many occassions in the past myself of that mind and alignment, I am sorry to say that from a distance of the recent gigs i can only feel that the band are more than ever a bunch of relentless mercenaries. They will get no more of my hard earned until they start giving something back. 50 years and counting.....your cash! the f****rs.

This is one reason this band is so brilliant, - the transitions - the time, the place for different moods. The longevity, take it all for what it is worth, pointless comparing whether this was better than that, etc. It all has merit. And while you are about......don,t forget to walk on the lice paper!
