Mick sure knows how to cut costs in this time of a "stalled" economy....Sorry there is no room for a $200,000 bonus this year, but we do have a nice little lunch set up for us
Seriously, besides this lunch, I wonder what they gave him as a token (I am taking it as they did a little more than just this lunch for all those tour grossing records and his years of service). Possibly money, or a nice vacation for him and the family. Heck maybe a nice car?

WTF?
On what planet?
Who do you work for?
Dude! Seriously!
You're delusional!
I don't know of any companies that give $200, 000 bonuses! Family vacations? Brand-new cars?
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Where I work when someone retires, we usually have a potluck dinner for them and they get a nice plaque! The women usually get red roses, too.
P.S. In this "stalled" economy, we should all be grateful to have a job, a lot of people are unemployed!

Ahhhhh gorda, this was supposed to be a joke for the most part....
On a serious note ....$200,000 bonuses = Mid-size companies/corporation CEO's get bonuses like this left and right. Many much more than that. It is no secret The Stones are, in a sense a mid-size company in themselves and are the highest paid musicians in the world and have been for decades. In fact their tours have generated over a billion dollars since 1989 alone.
So, in actuality I think Mr. Dunn deserves a bit more than a pot luck dinner or some plaque for managing all those record breaking multi-million dollar world tours. Every one of their tours since the 1970's was an over-all success at the very least... He must be good at what he does other wise he would of been ousted long ago.
By the way...Mr. Dunn's occupation isn't exactly the every day job. The dude is titled as "The" actual head tour manager for The Rolling Stones for decades now. Thats his job ....you know....overseeing and being in charge of the biggest musical act and their show (and all their employees...chefs and all) while on these record breaking tours. By far and away they are the most successful touring entourage for countless years with several record breaking tours both in attendance as well as from a financial stand point.
In case you still do not get it...
Maybe we should be asking you what planet your from?
The guy isn't exactly working part time at a call center.
