Showbiz 411 ^ | October 10, 2012 | Roger Friedman

[WXRGina]

Amazing. These guys never quit. Huge sympathy for the devil money going on.

[laweeks]

Never had any use for them. They’re very instrumental in making rock-n-roll look filthy. Not sure why anyone cares about them anymore. They’ve always bordered on being disgusting. That’s my opinion. So there!

[ex91B10]

Fifty years on three (sometimes) four chords.

I can't understand it.

The Kenyan must go.

[skeeter]

Jeez. Makes me appreciate Led Zeppelin more & more.

[SamAdams76]

Just as amazing, I was at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut last month in which Bob Dylan was giving a concert (and releasing an album of all new material).

Now Bob Dylan has also been recording since 1962 so he has been in the music business for 50 years also.

I wonder where L'il Wayne will be in 50 years.

[mrsmith]

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

Wish they’d write some new stuff, old age has interesting facets.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Sittin’ here listening to “For No Reason At All In C” by Scott Robinson. Quiet home. Family. Cheap beer. FR. Libs in meltdown.

Paying out the wazoo for Stones tickets and experiencing public mayhem in person has no appeal on this end.

[WXRGina]

Yeah, and three and four chords are the foundation of rock and roll and blues.

[WXRGina]

I wonder where L'il Wayne will be in 50 years.

HAHAHAHAA!

[Lockbar]

[WXRGina]

Or, as Savage would say—they’re out there with their transfusion trees playing guitar and drums...

[fatnotlazy]

I’ll bet tickets cost a fortune, particularly for the front rows.

[nascarnation]

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

[JRandomFreeper]

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

[cripplecreek]

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

[Magic Fingers]

“Sittin’ here listening to “For No Reason At All In C” by Scott Robinson. Quiet home. Family. Cheap beer. FR. Libs in meltdown.”

Some situations are hard to improve on.

[Stevenc131]

The wife and I saw them last in 2006 and they were still kicking butt and enjoying themselves on stage. Quoting Bob Seger, “all Chuck’s children are playing his licks”, so crank them amps and rock on boys.

[Revolting cat!]

Their new single “Doom & Gloom” is coming out tomorrow morning, but, strangely enough, it will not have a B-side as I understand it. Have you ever seen a one sided 45?

[jobim]

Now that I'm 60, I begin to get some of those 60s lyrics, like "Go Away Dandelions" and "Sunshine Superman".

Dandelions:
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
He's thinking about suicide (ie dandelions cover a graveyard). No secrets after death. Death gives us final knowledge. Please go away, thoughts of suicide.

Sunshine Superman:
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
Suicide again. Thinking about jumping out the window over her. Sunshine gave him courage. Saved his life.

[Revolting cat!]

If we made the same tired ‘ageist’ jokes about B.B. King, they’d call us, and we’d call ourselves “RACIST” which is a crime graver than murder in this country in this age, don’t kid yourself!

[Crimson Elephant]

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

[jobim]

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.

[WXRGina]

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!

[JaguarXKE]

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 !

"Keith, we can't do any drugs, because you already did them all, there's none left...we have to wait until you die and smoke your ashes." - Dennis Leary

[WXRGina]

I’ll shake my hip to that!

[WXRGina]

Stones. No contest !

The "Stones or Beatles?" question is a whole thread in itself!

Boy, are there some good arguments on that! :-)

[dfwgator]

Stones or Beatles? PING!

The Who.

[Fiji Hill]

Stones or Beatles?

Beatles!

Nothing the Stones did is as good as The Girl I Love by the Beatles.

[Slings and Arrows]

Have you ever seen a one sided 45?

It's being released on a Mobius strip.

[CrazyIvan]

Are the tickets large type?

[Gay State Conservative]

Forty five years ago I would have attended for sure.But I have no interest in seeing grandfathers dancing around like clowns.R&R is to be performed by people in their 20’s and maybe 30’s,not guys pushing 70.Love the Stones of ‘65...have no use for today's Stones.

[Mears]

“Boy, are there some good arguments on that! :-) “

-

It was the sanctimony and hypocrisy of The Beatles that drove me nuts. That whole Maharishi phase and love,peace,love.

The Stones just let it all hang out.

[Gay State Conservative]

Are the tickets large type?

Hey,you,get off of my Barcalounger!

[Flatus I. Maximus]

> Have you ever seen a one sided 45?

Yes, many times, a lifetime ago when I worked radio. A lot of DJ copies were one-sided, or sometimes mono on one side and stereo on the other or the full-length track on one side and the edited for airplay version on the other. But...

They're going to release a record? Who even has a turntable any more?
