Sweet Neo-Con

They sell out their shows because they put on one hell of a show! I've been a Stones fan all my life, and have seen them dozens of times. The last show I saw was their tour in 1999 at the Arco Arena in Sacramento. They are very professional musicians, and to me their current shows are superior to the ones I saw during the past 30 years. Just like every supergroup and superstar, they did have their "peak" back when... just like Dylan, McCartney, Pink Floyd, The Who, Arrowsmith, REM, Pearl Jam, etc. etc. etc.

I'm glad they're still around to remind us of how great they were. I thought the song Mixed Emotions was among some of their best. And from the early reviews, their new cd should bring back many old fans, and maybe a few new ones, too.

Gee, are people still using that ancient BT Barnum saying. Well, as far as I'm concerned" You Can't Always Get What You Want, But You Get What You Need.

Go spend a thousand bucks and see the show. It's better than cocaine.

Speaking as an artist, and knowing many aritists in the music industry, the art community, the photography community, the poetry community, the ceramic community, and the sculpture community, etc... I hope nobody ever tells me to stop doing what I love doing, simply because they don't appreciate it.

As Dylan (another of those wrinkled up corpses) once wrote: "..don't criticize, what you can't understand."

Besides, age discrimination is just another form of intolerance.

Lugnut- I'm curious. Who is your favorite: Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly or Dr. Laura Schlessinger? And do you listen to them using a tube, or solid state tuner?

Patrick, all teasing aside. At least we both enjoy Leon Russell and Neil Young. Regardless of how old they are.

Peace,
