Rolling Stones reschedule tour
From correspondents in London
02jun06
THE Rolling Stones rescheduled their European concert tour today after injured guitarist Keith Richards apologised for "falling off my perch" while holidaying in Fiji.
Richards' fall – he was flown to New Zealand to undergo surgery for a head injury after tumbling from a palm tree – forced the ageing rockers to postpone the tour which they were due to start in Barcelona, Spain last month.
"Excuse me. I fell off my perch. Sorry to disrupt everyone's plans but now it's full steam ahead. Ouch," the 62-year-old Richards sai.
The European tour will now start in Milan on July 11 and end in Horsens, Denmark on September 3.

What would you have him do Corgi, videotape himself on his knees begging for forgiveness? 
Don't forget we're talking about people who've lived all their lives like a bunch of 15-year-olds. I like his "apology". Apology accepted, what more can I say. Accidents happen.
Like Gazza said, he's a charming old bastard. I'm certainly not one who can resist this |

It's okay, sweetie, we all fall off our perches sometimes. Come on up and see me sometime and I'll forgive you in person.  |
|
|
| Sir Stonesalot |
Well I don't accept.
Here is what Mr. Richards needs to do to make it up to me:
I get an all expenses paid, first class/5 star trip to Amsterdam for the Stones gigs. Front row tix & backstage passes to the shows. Full access for me and my camera/video. And all the merch that I can carry in a large softsided suitcase. And I get to sing with Blondie, Bernard, and Lisa onstage during the shows. And some guitars, I get some guitars too.
If Keef can make that happen for me, I will forgive him. |

Please light da spliff mon, bring praise to Jah dat Lord Richards is coming down from da mountain..
Blast dis from late 70's in praise of heem...
The Harder They Come
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
CHORUS:
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Well the officers are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
CHORUS
ooh yeah oh yeah woh yeah ooooh
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
CHORUS
Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all
What I say now, what I say now, awww
What I say now, what I say one time
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all

Yeah, hopefully the whack to the head makes him remember how to play guitar and forget how to gesture and bow on the floor. |

Too bad there's only one gig now, and we don't do tickets per row in most European countries.
Ah, it all sucks. BUT, I'll still get to see them one time next month  |

" Roger Dixon, president of the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority, shows off work on the new arena seating at Qwest Center Omaha. The project will add 1,472 seats, bringing concert seating to 18,300.
Hawkins Construction is taking a break on work to add 1,472 seats to the north end of the arena because of two events.
The Women of Faith conference this weekend is expected to attract 12,000 people to the arena. The Ringling Bros. Circus comes to town for seven performances June 8 through June 11.
The construction crews return June 13 to finish the job of adding the seats and much more.
The project will open up the north side of the upper deck with more concessions and restrooms that are expected to relieve some congestion in concourse areas. A new scoreboard will go up, and video ribbon panels will be added on both the north and south end decking.
Already, 77 tons of structural steel has been used on the project.
Roger Dixon, president of the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority, said the additional seats will make Omaha more competitive for concerts and sporting events in the face of new arenas in Des Moines and Kansas City.
"This makes us more attractive to future NCAA events," Dixon said. MECA runs the Qwest Center.
The arena has landed first-round men's basketball, women's final four volleyball and the wrestling championship. Dixon said the additional seats put the city in better position to land the NCAA Frozen Four in hockey, the 2010 or 2011 Big 12 basketball tournament and, possibly, the Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournament.
The additional seats would have been used for past Shania Twain and Prince concerts, which were performed in the round, and at least two sold-out Creighton Bluejays basketball games.
Creighton is prepared to sell the seats over the student section after they are in place and numbered when the project is completed Sept. 8.
With the additional seats, Dixon said, the arena will handle 18,300 for concerts set in the middle of the floor, 17,500 for basketball and 16,500 for hockey.
The summer shutdown did cost the arena a Sheryl Crow appearance and, probably, a Bruce Springsteen concert. Dixon hasn't given up on Springsteen, hoping Omaha can land the rock superstar for a future event with his full E Street Band.
As of now, the first big event scheduled for the expanded arena is the Dixie Chicks on Sept. 23."
