No one was banned or anything like that. The thread was simply locked as it's only purpose was to offend. MM realised what he did was unwarranted and it's no longer an issue. People make mistakes.

Look, whilst we would prefer it if people just discussed music, its naive to think this board is going to exist in some kind of vacuum. That said, why anyone wanting to debate politics would want to specifically look to a Rolling Stones board to satisfy their thirst for that sort of thing is beyond me.

However, if you're going to discuss or debate politics, its not much to ask a group of adults to do so in a civilised manner, without making sweeping statements which are insulting. Especially when - on an international forum - its being read by people from different backgrounds, races and nationalities. No one should be made to feel unwelcome or uneasy from using this site because of their nationality, religion, sex, race or orientation. Simple as that.

Banter is all well and good, but everyone by now should know what is and isn't acceptable and too often posts are made simply to rant, provoke, goad or insult. If you think your post might just fall into that category, then simply don't hit the 'post' button.

As for the excuse that there's no Stones activity, it doesn't matter. If we're going to discuss the Stones on a Stones forum, it doesn't have to necessarily be dependent on 'news'. There's 46 years of history, a couple of dozen albums. about 350 songs and over 2,000 shows for people to analyse,reminisce and argue over.  Start a thread on something Stones-related. You may be surprised how many people might be interested.

Of course. There's nowhere else to go, no other road, no detours, a one way street. .... the so called "long strange trip." and all that.

Initially expected this fall as a fourth-quarter blockbuster, U2's next album has been pushed to early 2009 while the band continues to write and record material. "I thought a while back we might have the album wrapped by now, but why come up above ground now if there's more priceless stuff to be found?" Bono writes on U2.com.

Of late, the group has been recording in the south of France, having already logged time in Fez and Dublin with longtime collaborators Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite.

'We know we have to emerge soon but we also know that people don't want another U2 album unless it is our best ever album," Bono says. "It has to be our most innovative, our most challenging...or what's the point ?"

Bono says the band now was "50 or 60" new songs to consider for inclusion on the follow-up to 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.

"The last two records were very personal, with a kind of three piece at their heart, the primary colors of rock -- bass, guitars and drum," he says. "But what we're about now is of the same order as the transition that took us from The Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby."

Among the songs in the mix are "Get on Your Boots," "For Your Love," "Breathe," "No Line on the Horizon" and the eight-minute "Moment of Surrender." One source who has heard several of the works-in-progress describes them to Billboard as "amazing and a little out there. I hope they don't change anything."

"I'm always the one who underestimates how easy it is to simply 'put out the songs now.' If it was just up to me they'd be out already!" Bono says. "But early next year people will be able to start hearing what we've been doing. We want 2009 to be our year, so we're going to start making an impression very early on."

things are tough all over.
