In a since deleted post, we were asked by several prominent members of Rocks Off to not address each other on this board as we obviously despise each other. I believe it was deleted before you read it.
this begs the question:
if a pity post about Pug whining for mercy falls in the woods and no one sees it, does it count?

thats sad. You realize that I handle you with kid gloves as it is, dont you?
Make whatever judgments you would like to make. Simply stated, I have too much better to do than to get into a pissing match on a message board. I have realized that winning an argument or "war" on a board is the equivalent of me beating my 3 year old in a game of horse. (see: what is there really to gain from it?) Things got real personal and quite a bit out of hand this weekend on Rocks Off between a few posters and it opened my eyes to see that it really isnt worth it. Whats sad is that it took me so long to realize that, not your so called "kid gloves"
While it pains me, I wish you nothing but success in your "real world" and hope you find peace.

thanks Pug!
I'll take that as a green light to continue to mock you
of course, for entertainment purposes only. Because I think you're such a swell guy.

I'll make sure I let it bother me when I get home tonight (after the maid service leaves) and navigate through my 5800 square foot under ac home to make my way to my large cedar deck to enjoy a cold Heineken Light and a cigar overlooking the pond and state park behind my home whilst watching my young children play on their wonderful new swingset with winding tube slide only to whisk them inside to sit at the table just off the "chef's kitchen" to enjoy a fantastic homecooked meal after which we will adjourn to the game room where my wife and I will either play air hockey or shoot pool as the children play with their three level train set (see: Cubs game playing in the background in the media room hopefully where the Cubs will be down 6-9 runs after Zambrano has a meltdown in the first inning).
Keep this in mind when you are passed out in your parents basement on that all too familiar pool table in a drug induced haze.
Mock away, it will truly hurt.
Thank you, you make me realize that it's good to be me....

I had requested that and offered peace and yet your little buddy decides to post pictures from a website of a company I represent, quite appropriate. The problem is not with me my friend.
pdog posted a very well written and thought out post regarding the flaming on this board and I must say I took it to heart. Sadly, everyone else didn't.

Interesting, although thats not how I've heard things in recent days. Without going into much more personal detail, what I was told was that Charlie, having been through what he has endured 3 years ago, dreads the thought of retirement, seeing it as some form of slippery slope. He's quite happy to continue working.
I've also heard that Scorsese ISN'T too happy with 'Shine A Light' at all. I think there's still going to be a bit more to-ing and fro-ing before this project sees the light of day. If it does.
I would still be amazed if the Stones ever publicly announced in advance a 'final' show. That said, as an event it would be quite a potential cash grab - but thats still not as much $$ as they could continue to rake in from short bursts of touring every year.
My own personal opinion is that they'll all be quite happy to remain an active touring band to some degree. The main issue though (only in my opinion, I've no personal or inside 'insight' into this) is Keith's health. It is quite possible from what I've read elsewhere that these 'aberrations' he's had could be temporary, but it's surely at a stage where his lifestyle combined with his recent medical history is going to affect his ability to function as a consistent performing musician for much longer. If he can get that shit sorted out, it's quite feasible that they will have some mileage left in them.
I like this scenario much, much better myself. Imagine...Charlie, who used to hate touring now feels he can't do without it. Ronnie, who was a drunken mess ends up successfully on the wagon. Mick, who always kept the Stones at bay with other projects, seems to be wrapping up his solo career with a best-of. If Keith, if he can just pull back on his drinking and take care of himself enough to get anywhere near his 92-95 level, convinces Mick to ditch stadiums in favour of more intimate venues....(shit, I just creamed myself).
Oh dear, my dream tour could actually happen before they pack it in.
I know they feel an obligation to keep employing all the people that they do, so who knows... maybe they read Keith the riot act and that got twisted into the story I heard. I certainly like that notion better. Hopefully we'll know more in September after it all wraps up. But Gazza, I like what you heard so much better. so much better.

Exactly. Seems Keith is the "X-Factor" here. I'm not expecting miracles as far as his substance abuse goes. I'll just be happy if his health improves head-wise. Then, who knows, maybe the old boy's got some miles left on him after all. *fingers crossed*

As luck would have it, our lovely SV texted me this info whilst I was on vacation. Impeccable timing I might add. I was strolling through Portsmouth NH with my entire family and after my Uncle had heard his request of "Over the Rainbow" by a street musician, I, to the chagrin of my eye-rolling cousins, requested a Stones tune.
Ruby Tuesday was played on a dulcimer.
I receive text and begin screaming in the Ice Creme shoppe.
Alas, it began.
"Aren't they too old?"
"Haven't you seen them ENOUGH?"
"Who is texting you???"
Ahhhh......had to explain that my "other family" was in need of my attention.
Great news. I forsee a small arena tour to promote Shine A Light.
Go Charlie!!!!

I don't want another tour so soon.
It seems the Stones play around here more than the Red Sox do.
I want a new cd with a legit producer.

of course I'm putting the cart in front of the horse, but I think an arena tour might allow them to loosen that tired set list some and play some deeper cuts. I dunno... maybe...
obviously a lil arena tour will be stupid fun, but if not, then I think this "Shine A Light" will serve as a proper coda. The trailor looks amazing. It'll make a nice going away gift.

My wallet is screaming "NO FUCKING WAY!" again and whilst I understand what you're getting at, the "not so soon" thing isn't really an option at this stage. There simply isnt enough mileage left to allow for long sabbaticals anymore.

well, if they tour next year in the USA, I hope they'll shake up the setlist, and I hope they tour Europe too, some small shows, Ahoy, Bercy etc.

Arenas ? That would work for me since I pretty much vowed not to attend stadium shows anymore after the disappointment of Pacbell 2002 followed by wonder of Oakland Arena 2002.
So what's Keith been up to lately to warrant all these worried comment ?
