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.

A Level Stage

OH BOY!!!
The Steel Wheelchair Tour!!!
Thanks for the smiles this morning, RC (I had to check out last night)! Those are all good ones!
Frankie Vaughan! Now, THAT’S more like it! :-)
Garden of Eden--Joe Valino
It’s a great song!
We love the classics from the 20s through 50s!
Is there a senior citizen discount on the tickets?
They should change their name officially to the “Rolling Gallstones.”
Maybe (the Democrat) AARP is getting people hooked up with a senior Stones discount...
I thought I was the last person on earth recalling Frankie Vaughn!
Incendiary, the new B-sideless Stones single is out on Youtube for downloading gratis and elsewhere to purchase (suckers!) I’ve just heard it, it’s so good I don’t remember a note or word of it. Another “Satisfaction”? Prolly not.
In the garden of eden (not the title, but what’s the difference:

(Paul Anka, just after his best years.)
Frankie Vaughan was HUGE!
‘Course, as weak as this 45 may sound, all the Metallicas, Deep Purples, Pinkie Floyds and other such mediocrities can eat their hearts out and dream all night about being able to produce something as lousy!
Mr. Anka really jazzed it up! Great version!
"Start me up".
Of course for Keith all they need do is check his embalming fluid levels and he is good to go!
All kidding aside the guys can still "bring it" and at their age that is amazing!
Yes, it’s impressive that they’re still rockin’!
Bunch of leftist cliches about the war in Iraq, fracking for oil, and the rich and poor. As if The Boys are strapped for cash. They globe trot to AVOID high British taxes.

They’d be better off singing about the craziness of young Russian trophy wives, drinking to excess, bemoaning the death of the blues, etc.
