Crazedinjapan, good comment.

@ crazed - you are probably right - but at their age you'd need to be on all manner of gear to have energy to jump around a stage for three hours! Good luck to these old rockers!

Lol good one !

Awesome...love The Rolling Stones! Two of my favourite songs: Ruby Tuesday and Paint it Black.

Keith Urban joined them? Oh, how utterly luscious!

"Actress Kate Blanchett recalled just how skinny they were. "It really, really pisses me off"

Ha ha, it pisses me off too, these guys can apparently eat whatever they want and they still stay as skinny as a rail.

@Ranger Miffy - I just checked out Keith Urban. Luscious, eh?

My favorite Stones songs: Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil.

The Stones had better swing by Tokyo and play a surprise gig at some hole-in-the-wall place in my neighborhood.

@ Serrano - the Stones have a little diet secret - I believe it's called the Speed diet system...

Don't get me wrong, I am a big Stones fan. I have seen several stories on the news (broadcast, not cable or entertainment) that they are having real trouble selling tickets. I hear that some tickets are priced at 600 bucks! That is not a scalper's price. I think I paid about 400 for the Tokyo Dome shows in the late 80's or early 90's. Maybe around 35,000 yen ?
