This is an interesting article on the Rolling Stones. It asks if Jagger is still capable of strutting around in concert like he used to. It wonders whether their next tour will be their last. It questions if they've been cast aside as new music trends have gained prominence.
And oh yeah; it's from 1981.
Too Funny... i saw them at Candlestick Park in the early 80s. George Thorogood & the Destroyers lead off. J Giles Band was also there as the 2nd act. I don't usually like large venues, but that was a fun day as I recall... |

Tattoo You was a pretty good album, not as good as Some Girls, but it wasn't a letdown. As for comments on the Stones, AARP had a cartoon of them racing around in wheel chairs some years back, still up to the same hijinks, which pretty much sums up the Stones as they reach retirement age, but they haven't put out anything new in years.

Hey Burnzy, no worries - I thought that pun was pretty bad, and by that I mean good. I mean...
My first concert was the first Stones show of that tour, at JFK in 1981. George Thorougood (sp) and Journey opened. I also vaguely remember that station (which was WMMR, not MNR) playing the album, and WYSP (not WYST) recording it. After they did that, MMR would insert "A WMMR exlusive" in the middle of songs so that other stations couldn't do the same.
For what it's worth, that Stones show I saw was on September 25, 1981. I saw the Who (with the unfortunately named Hooters, Santana, and the Clash) at the same venue exactly a year later, on September 25, 1982.
Like the Stones a lot, but I'll stick with the Fabs - they went in, knocked out a bunch of great, innovative songs, and got out before the Seventies could impose its ill will on them.

Ken from the old forum was a fan, from what I remember; too bad he didn't migrate over here.

Hi, cincy-man. I decided to join you here, among other refugees from the NYTimes forum. thanks for alerting me. Are there any Richard Thompson fans here? Ditto Kasey Chambers fans? I saw the mention of Hans Theessink's name and, thanks to cincy-man, can vouch that Theessink is great. I've been fighting with my cable company to get Music Choice's Americana channel on their music stations. It is really difficult to get new talents on the air that aren't rock, hip hop or teeny bopper music. Cosi plays some great stuff: Kasey, Ry Cooder, John Prine, etc. but there is no mention of who's singing.  |

(smile) No, my brothers and I just stay away from each other. Cuts down on the scrapping. Speaking of scrapping... Ken may have been a Kinks fan but what I remember was him trying to convince me that The Beatles were greater. Or maybe he thought I believed The Kinks were greater. Or maybe we both just liked to argue too much (smile). Ken, if you're out there lurking, drop on in. I've mellowed. |

Oh, been through many changes of late. Too many and too personal to go into here, but thanks for asking. Good to see more refugees popping in. Maybe this place will become more active. |
