Stones only did 3 songs: Start Me Up Oh No, Not You Again (new song) Brown Sugar My fiance was there. She said it was really cool. They didn't say it was their farewell tour per se, and quite frankly I hope it isn't. SO WHAT if they are old. SO WHAT if they haven't done anything good on record since 'Tatoo You'. People make such a big deal over their age and should give it up already. Mick looks better than most people over 60, and for a guy like Keith Richards who has made several trips to Hell, he is STILL COOL and always will be. Andrea Peyser of the New York Post called them 'Geriatric Rockers'. Gee...not like I've never heard them called that in the last 15 years. Andrea Peyser should take a good look in the mirror before she starts commenting on other people's appearances, but to her credit though, she did say some cool things about the band. When it's all said and done people will always turn out in droves to see the Stones play live. They will never flop and will be playing stadiums until they put them in a box a bury them in the ground, and who knows maybe they will even keep playing stadiums after that. I have't seen them live since 'Steel Wheels'. Would love to see them this year.
