Are you boycotting the non-sold out UC show?
Time is running out on your fantasies. The UC show is August 26th which according to my calcualtions is little more than two weeks away. My guess is this show will be at 100% capacity. What evidence do you have it will be otherwise except made up statements. Why can't I buy any tickets at TICKETBASTARD right now???? |

JB, this album might seem a bust- judging from Streets of Shite, but why the tour? Everyone said the same thing before Voodoo Lounge and that was the greatest success. I think this one will top Forty Licks which had no new blood on it. And hopefully, no Dustbin Timberfake.
I think financially you are correct..it will not be solely form ticket sales however. The # I have heard tossed around is 400 Million gross....Licks netted over 300 MIl gross and around 107 million net.....You ust include the ove 100 million they make in merchandise sales alone..........the term "bust" as I use it, refers more to creativity/complete sell outs... |

Those $450 tickets aren't bought by the granola eating Birkenstock wearing types
Insulting George Walker Bush III is not insulting 51% of the United States. My guess, from experience, is that 5% of people in the United States feel insulted when George Walker Bush III gets insulted. Just look at these threads - maybe 2 or 3 people, out of the dozens that stop by every day, appeared to feel insulted by the existence of this Rollin Stones song entitled Sweet Neo Con. And they were all gay and/or retarded.
The song Sweet Neo Con will have absolutely no effect on ticket or album sales whatsoever, either up or down. Its just too inconsequential. Even if it turns out to be a good or great tune, it won't make or break a thing. |

Of course the UC show is sold out, it will be the third show in a row I've attended.
I'm looking forward to seeing many RO's there... |

no I think maxy is right about the fact the stones have a large fanbase that is neocon -> can afford their ticketprice. The only thing is, that 51% is, as with most things, taking it far toooooo seriously. Just enjoy the song |

JB: Bounce from Fenway, proximity to NYC, Friday night in the summa, all valid points that the fanatic Hahtfud area will turn out for the Stones, they have for decades...
You should make a week in New England out of it.... |

Wow. Was this the best day EVER or what? I can't believe I wasn't around to take part in it... but then everyone knows what I would say anyway.
Why is it when I brought this stuff up last week I was insane, but Drudge and Hannity bring it up and all of a sudden Tele's selling his tickets and Maxy's giving Mick marketing lessons!
Too rich!
AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD THE SONG YET!!!!!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! |

I don't remember any "outcry" upon the release of "Indian Girl", "Undercover" single, "High Wire". This has more to do with the times than the Stones. And it's boring, but it is pub!
And as to the original poster's reference to the Dixie Chicks: They sold a shiteload of records, boss!

I am sure in a couple of days we will get a "clarification" from Mick
Virgin Records and Ameriquest have sunk a boatload into the tour/album and this ain't the way they wanted it to kick off
Virgin has lost millions on their record contract with The Stones and want to make it up on this one
Not a good start
You Neo Libs are missing the point as usual. It isn't the politics it is the marketing |

Here's the full boat article that Drudge lifted from. He probably should have posted the link.

Very little Sweet Neo Con content, MUCH information worth reading. |

All this hoopla is hilarious! This alblum will probably sell more than any of their recent albums because of the media paying the slightest attention to 1 song. Fox News takes the bait every time! Bill O'Reilly gave tons of free press to Al Franken over his "Lies" book. . .it became a best seller. Hannity is going to do the same for the Stones! |

Settle down, Beavis. I know this day has been hard on you guys. You could deny that the Stones are calling you an ass when it was just me talking about it, but man, when Sean Hannity gets in the game, that's serious.
So, if they play "Sweet NeoCon" at the opener, will you boo? Or run to the bathroom so you can pretend you didn't hear it? Or what?
I just gots to know! How you gonna manage this? Hell, this "issue" has you guys so mixed up that Maxy is agreeing with JB!!! The tour is a bust!
The FUNNIEST thing about all of this is that you guys are taking the stance that the Stones SHOULD be worrying about how much money they'll make, and NOT the music. Isn't that actually backwards from what everyone here (except of course JB) usually thinks?
And all of you are 100% agreed that Mick doesn't REALLY mean it. It's just a marketing ploy!! So - he shouldn't have done it because it's bad business - but he wrote it simply because the market will eat it up...wha???
As far as getting one right, THIS is one I've had right from the start. Rightwing Stones fans make NO sense! Before you trot out your cliched retorts, I didn't say you weren't allowed to like them - just that it makes no sense. Here's one Mick agrees with me on.
Yet SOMEHOW, I'm betting that, in your troubled mind, YOU'RE still right!
Heeeheeeheee!!! This is TOO rich!!!! |
