Mikey how the Stones REALLY operate behind the scenes? For instance:
-how does the production really come together for a tour like this?
-how does KR and RW decide what guitars they are going to use?
-how many guitars do they take, where are they during down times? (Previous reports have indicated about 75 between them for a tour)
-who pays for dinner/drinks when the band goes out?
-what personal effects do band members take with them? (Driver's license, money, ccards, etc)
-what does Tony King/Jake Berry/Pierre de Beauport do in the "offseason".
-how does the band get paid? (Before any of you wiseguys say "in cash", I mean, nightly, monthly, upfront, by wire, by check?)
-how do other celebs like Beck get correct access to Stones facilities, such as backstage, after-events, rehearsals, etc. (I know they have star power, but what I mean is HOW do they know what number(s) or people to contact, its not like they have the Stones' managers numbers on speed dial or the direct line to the tuning room at the Masonic Aud in Toronto - or do they.

I have always been fascinated by the complete production of the RS machine and hope that the new documentary that is currently being filmed answers some of my questions, but any help to the above or anything else would be appreciated?
