I would say London, the city where they once started. They should give their farewell concert in the proud capital of England! |

The Soldier
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've got a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring with me." "Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm an leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own." At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.
A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.
The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.
Thankfully, there's Someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are. Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!!

I think the Stones are above "Farewell" shows and tours and notions of "breaking up" - thats so 80s, man. |

Jesus Christ: War's over, man. Ian Billen dropped the big one.
Sirmoonie: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Starbuck: Germans?
Maxlugar: Forget it, he's rolling.
Sirmoonie: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the going gets tough . . . the tough get going. Who's with me? Let's Go! Come on! AAAAEEEEEGGGHHHH!!
Fleabit: Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons. But that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Sirmoonie: We're just the guys to do it.

I agree. The Stones final concert, assuming they are still all together for it (ie no premature deaths), will be the most extravagant extravaganzas of all time...
maybe the Moon, maybe Jupiter,(maybe St. John) we'll see when ever they're ready to pack it in... |

Yes, in outer space on a planet! Then we could get the bootleg of it titled "The Stones lick Uranus" |

Sadly, I'm beginning to think this is a very possible scenario 
If this turns out that way (which I'm still hoping it won't) I'm completely dumbfounded to the way they're deciding to put an end to over 40 years of a brilliant career. Is this the way they want to be remembered? The band who released the stupidest singles they could find off an otherwise good album, did basically NOTHING to promote it (in comparison) and fucked up their very last tour when the guitarist fell of a palm tree?
Sometimes I don't understand the Stones at all. |

They should end it in The Netherlands;

Oh this is easy.
The Stones should end their career playing a private gig for all the regulars of the major Stones Boards ie the TRUEST MOST LOYAL FANS.
Of course, they will fly us all to some exotic locale and treat us to a week of luxury.
I believe it is now time for my morning medication.

The Stones should never announce a final show. They should just scale things back and keep playing.
Sorry for those of you who aren't going to be able to see them. That sucks. |
