No. I happen to think that FPM and SS are wrong for quitting. But that's just a personal opinion. They can do what they want to do. If I thought that they quit for the right reasons I wouldn't give a fuck. I kind of followed that "fight" with FPM at Max's politics board. I would have quit too if they were that pricky and insulting to me. But on the other hand once you start to talk politics you can expect that sort of thing.

Hell no .... Stones posters. I was a Rolling Stones fan long before you were born. That's why you don't get the jokes and I do.

But seriously. That's the fucking truth. I can't remember ever thinking rationally about anything in life without trying to factor the Rolling Stones into the equation. My mother was an Elvis nut....God have mercy on our souls. If I had been around 10 years earlier I'd have been around at the beginning.

Wait, I'm starting to think some of you people think the Stones sold out in 2007. Are you serious? They sold out way before the internet even existed. Why is everyone so crazed about this? Them playing a command performance for Deutsche Bank does NOTHING to harm rock and roll or what they've accomplished as a band. The market determines the price. If the Rolling Stones were not so great, Deutsche Bank would never bother. And if I were the Stones and I were on tour anyway, I wouldn't miss a beat doing this. I'd be thinking of providing not only for my kids, but my grandkids and their grandkids. And oh, are bankers not rock and roll fans? What is this 1920? All this Deutsche Bank employees at that show grew up with the Stones, I guarantee it. Are you kidding me? Anyone older than the Stones is retired by now. Let them rock. It didn't harm me or my love of the Stones in anyway.

I never thought I would get here. My very last message board post.

The Rolling Stones that I love are gone. They've been gone for years, but I deluded myself into putting up with it.

I guess everyone has their limits. I reached mine. I probably reached my limit last year sometime...but I was able to ignore for a while.

I just can't ignore it any more. I don't know why...I just can't.

I love what The Rolling Stones once were. I hate what they have become. Where once the mere mention of The Stones would make me giddy as a schoolgirl...now I just roll my eyes...or worse, I get about half pissy. And that just should not be.

Rock n Roll should be fun. The Stones have ceased to be fun for me. That is wrong. So I'm not gonna stay all wrapped up by The Stones. I'll always love the music...back when it was worth loving. I'll still play those songs that I dig. But I'm done giving them so much time and effort...because quite frankly...The Stones aren't worth it anymore.

There is no reason for me to stay and piss on everyone elses good time. My attitude about The Stones has become caustic, and I don't want to spread that. I don't want to be a negative vibe merchant. If you can accept and enjoy The Rolling Stones for what they have become...more power to ya, have a blast. The Stones just don't fit my vision of Rock n Roll anymore. If they fit your vision, then I am sincerely happy for you. Believe me, I wish I was happy for me too.

For those who have my email...I'm not changing it. Feel free to drop me a few lines now and then. If you have my digits, feel free to call any time. If you are on MySpace, you can always reach me there too. www.myspace.com/sirstonesalot

I always thought my loyalties were to The Rolling Stones. I have discovered that my loyalties were actually always to Rock n Roll....or what my idea of Rock n Roll is. If The Stones don't want to fit in that idea anymore, then I can live without them. But I can't live without my Rock n Roll.

So be well my friends. Good luck in all you do.

People should ask themselves two questions before turning on the Stones for this particular event:

1) Would the Stones of 1965 have done this gig? Hells yes, IMHO.

yes, because they needed the money. And they would have been right to do so (they're still perfectly entitled to do so)

However, they still played about 300 shows in theatres that year so their fanbase were still easily able to see (and afford to see) them at such close quarters anyway.
