Ah fuck it. Not too many people worth seeing anymore. It’s mostly posers, losers or people past the sell date.

No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
Grohl is rock's version of Ryan Seacrest and Dwayne Johnson. Let someone else work!
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Grohl is your Disneyland tour guide of Rock and Roll Land. Let me tell you all about it kiddies and this way to the Motorhead ride.
It is a bit difficult listening to people worth over $300 million tell you that they have been in a prison due to COVID...
Well, it's a very comfortable "prison", in Mick's case. But from his perspective.... Stones had pretty much been touring every year since the 50th anniversary in 2012. Not even fucking open heart surgery in his mid-70s kept him off the stage for more than a couple months. But the pandemic managed to do what age & medical procedures couldn't do. I guess that might feel like a "prison" to somebody who's trying to run out the clock in the most enjoyable way possible.
Since he did this song with Grohl, I'm guessing Keef & Charlie must have thought one Covid- themed single was enough for them, and didn't want anything to do with this one.

"If the American people had ever known the truth about what we (the BCE) have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - Poppy Bush, 1992
The Stones need to hang it up. No original material since 2005, predictable boring stage shows and seeing a arthritic Keith Richards thinking he's 30 is beyond sad. Jagger can only market this shit for so long and the well is dry.
What happens when Charlie gets into the coke.......
Let's see.... a bunch of guys in their late 70s (Charlie must be over 80 by now??) - playing to stadium crowds in mostly "red states"?? I hope to fuck they're demanding proof of vaccination to get into the show. Woody just survived another round of cancer, for fucks sake. His immune system has to be hanging by a thinner thread than Keef's sobriety.
I'm likely going to Pittsburgh. Maybe Detroit.
Historically, when the Stones start a tour in the Fall, it's because they drop a new album right around Labor Day. I wonder if that's a sign that this long rumored new album is about to show up??
Supposedly they have been working on this record through the pandemic, despite the obvious challenges of not only working from home, but on separate continents. Keef's been living in LA. Ronnie's in England. Mick apparently has been bouncing around to various residences (saw a picture of him a few months back which definitely placed him in Arizona somewhere) Charlie's in the UK (but supposedly his parts are finished). Add Woody's recent health crisis to the mix and that's a lot of obstacles to making a record, but they claim it's been rolling along.
Even if the record doesn't come out by then, they could always try out some new songs on tour. Like they did with their new material in 1969... some of which ended up on "Let It Bleed" and some which didn't show up until "Sticky Fingers" in 1971.
Was there some burning need for the Foo Fighters to remake Bee Gees songs? Or any of the other classic tunes they have covered? I can't think of single instance where any of the tunes the Foo Fighters covered ended up being nearly as good as the original versions to my ears, Bee Gees included.
I was always a bit puzzled as to how Dave Grohl became said Disneyland tour guide of Rock and Roll Land in the first place, and why so many older established artists were so eager to jump up onstage with the Foo Fighters and get Grohl's seal of approval.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Charlie Watts sitting this tour out due to recovery from a successful medical procedure. Steve Jordan will be filling in.
Good to see a relatively young kid getting his chance.
After Mick Jagger split up with Jerry Hall she ended up with a guy who was 12 years older than him and he got a girl who was 31 years younger than her. There is a 56 year age gap between their partners.
I know Jerry's the dictionary definition of a "gold digger" but Murdoch, for fucks sake?? Never could see how any woman would find that attractive. Pretty sure Rupert's ex-wife Wendy Deng was only in it so she could report on everything the Murdochs were doing back to the ChiComs.
Nobody sounded like Bill Wyman but Darryl Jones works and nobody plays fills like Charlie Watts but a good drummer can make it work. A new drummer will throw the band because they played with Charlie the whole time. The only two people in The Stones you can’t replace are Mick and Keith. They are too up front and unique.
I assume most Stones gigs would be outdoors and in the US not so many people go to shows on public transport. An older audience will be more vaccinated so sounds like it's relatively low risk.
There are two types of act, the band and the dictator with sidekicks. The former usually eventually argue until they split, the later like the Foo Fighters, DLR or Prince are always under the threat of the boss doing some crazy emperors new clothes shit.
Following up a disappointing album with Bee Gee's covers definitely gets filed under crazy shit no one else wants.
Steve Jordan is a great drummer in his own right, and he works great with Keef. But it's a totally different vibe than the Stones. Keef & Charlie ARE the Stones.... in the sense that it's the musical foundation that everything else is built on.
I'm getting a sinking feeling that the Stones are going through with this, so they can make up the cancelled 2020 dates and then pull the plug for real. And if that's the case, it would truly suck ass if they played their last shows without Charlie.
A band is a recipe. Each member is an ingredient. You change an ingredient you change the recipe. Nobody likes a classic recipe they like changed but sometimes you can't get the original ingredients and have to make the best substitute you can. it won't be the same but it still might be good and worth having.
I remember seeing The Stones in 1981. Some of us lifeguards and greenskeepers drove to Phoenix to see them because we thought it might be their last tour. Ha! Ha!
Ha! Charlie is a homeboy. He never liked the road much. Keith said they all get road burnt but after some time home they all get hungry for the road except Charlie. Charlie never wants to go out and all they have to do is talk with Mrs. Watts. She always can get her man back out there usually by saying you don’t do much when you are home dear and that shoots his excuse of being busy down in flames.
Keef & Charlie - the foundation on which all else is built. They made this one up pretty much on the spot.....
Yeah, Mick in there too... but he wouldn't be improvising a random vocal over nothing.
(BTW, this little jam eventually became "Bitch" on Sticky Fingers..... but that was a long way off from where they were here!
Woody & Mick Taylor playing the blues......
Hell... how about another....
Sticky Fingers turned 50 this month.
No one cares.
So how do you expand an album that was all outtakes the first time around?? By adding another disc of outtakes, of course........

Rolling Stones Drop Previously Unreleased Track ‘Living in the Heart of Love’ From ‘Tattoo You’ Reissue
40th-anniversary edition of 1981 album will come with rarities disc, live album recorded in London in 1982
The Rolling Stones will mark the 40th anniversary of their 1981 album, Tattoo You, with a reissue featuring a bonus disc filled with previously unreleased material. The set will arrive on October 22nd via Polydor/Interscope/UMe.
To accompany the announcement, the Stones released “Living in the Heart of Love,” one of the nine previously unreleased songs that will appear on the bonus disc, Lost & Found. The nine songs were all originally recorded while the Stones were making Tattoo You, but were recently completed and enhanced with additional vocals and guitar by the Stones.
Along with “Living in the Heart of Love,” Lost & Found will feature a rendition of Jimmy Reed’s 1963 track “Shame, Shame, Shame” and a rendition of Dobie Gray’s 1973 soul tune, “Drift Away.” The disc will even include an alternate version of one of Tattoo You’s most famous tracks, “Start Me Up,” that incorporates some reggae influences.
Along with Lost & Found, a super deluxe edition of the Tattoo You 40th-anniversary set will come with a live album, Still Life: Wembley Stadium 1982. The concert was recorded in June of that year on the London stop of the band’s Tattoo You tour and boasts a 26-song set that includes plenty of Stones hits, plus covers of songs by the Temptations, Eddie Cochran, and the Miracles.
The Tattoo You 40th-anniversary set will be released in several physical formats. The two-CD set will feature just the remastered album and Lost & Found, while the four-CD box set will include the original album, Lost & Found, and the Wembley concert. The album will also be pressed in several vinyl formats, including a five-LP boxset that also comes with a hardback book featuring rare photos and interviews with producer Chris Kimsey and photographer Hubert Kretzschmar.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing here that I haven't heard before, but it's good to see "Drift Away" and "Living In The Heart of Love" finally get an official release. As well as the original "Start Me Up" demo from 1975. Seeing some of the other titles on the bonus disc also brings into context that earlier leak of three albums worth of outtakes a few months back. Mick's clearly been busy in this project for a while, and he took his one bonus disc out of that pool of material.
Only thing missing here - the original mix of Neighbors that's all about the guitars, instead of too many keyboards, sax solos, and Charlie's drums mixed WAY too loud. Sadly, I guess were stuck with the muddy bootleg version of that one.
The other thing that could really improve this album? Use the fucking FULL versions of "Slave" and "Worried About You". But I'm not holding my breath.
