Exclusive: The Rolling Stones will indeed play 50th anniversary concerts. And I am told they will go on sale this weekend–maybe as soon as Friday. Ticketmaster will handle the sales. All hell is going to break loose, too. What I’m told: confirmed dates are November 26 and 27 at the O2 Arena in London. December 15th and 16th are set for the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The dates for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn are coming, but not agreed to yet. This column was first to break the Prudential Center news two weeks ago. We were also first to tell you about Barclays and O2. So what’s been the delay? Money, money, money. The Stones want it. Richard Branson is putting up $25 million to make all this happen with concert promoter Paul Dainty. Once all the London-New York shows are sold, look for more dates. You know that Los Angeles and a few other big cities are guaranteed in 2013.

[Crimson Elephant]

The most overrated band in history just can’t give it up.

Tell me if she laughs or cries

Forgot to explain this line. He's so unsure of her feeling for him that he doesn't know whether she will laugh or cry when she gets the news.

[Fiji Hill]

I didn’t know they were still going.

[Revolting cat!]

Some stupid article about Dylan that a friend sent me a link today associated “You can’t always get what you want” phrase with Zimmy, and my old friend to my shock somehow didn’t know or forgot about the real source of it.

If I want to watch geriatrics perform, I'll look in a mirror. /johnny

Johnny, at least your mirror would show 'normal,' not spandex, botox men with power audio equipment.

[Revolting cat!]

These boys had better get back in the studio instead of issuing endless repackages, greatest hits, and remixes and live recordings and bootlegs. I ain’t buying any of it!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Do you get a bottle of Geritol and a DEPENDS with each ticket?

[WXRGina]

Great. Now there will be a bunch of drug crazed sexagenarians running loose all hopped up on Viagra.

And worse, it will encourage the further proliferation of those stupid best-explosive-results-of-your-life testosterone spots on talk radio.

[WXRGina]

Stones or Beatles? PING!

[dead]

Thanks for the warning, so I don't accidently buy tickets!

[dfwgator]

The old stuff is awesome, especially Mick’s singing. Age won’t be denied though.

What a drag it is getting old.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Re Have you ever seen a one-sided 45? I think I saw one in the last 50’s. Probably a PROMO or the guy forgot to put the label on, or I was drinking something strong.

[Revolting cat!]

I am talking about lacking the physical B-side!

[Revolting cat!]

I haven’t see you countless Barbra Streisand FR fans make jokes about the age of the object of your affection!

[Revolting cat!]

Stones or Beatles?

Swinging Blue Jeans!

I assume when Keith Richard passes on, science will study the body in depth. Certainly a wonder of longevity.

I'm pretty sure he passed on years ago and is simply an embalmed cyborg now.

[Fiji Hill]

Thinking about jumping out the window over her. Sunshine gave him courage. Saved his life.

On the other hand, Gene Autry was sorry he ever met Sunshine.

[a fool in paradise]

Hardly recognize the boys these days...

[Mears]

Stones.

No contest !
