The Stones in a club is still the ultimate rush.

Ronnie must of shredded Get Back JO JO, dedicated to Jo his ex! I hope some pics and videos surface ~ I'd love to see that! ? He lives in London. Kingston, in fact - just like Ronnie does. Never thought of the 'Jo Jo' link - funny! He goes to alot of concerts and gigs. I've noticed his posts, and seen him myself at a few shows around the globe! Thanks for the video and the pic of Paul and Ronnie is really cool, they are mutual admirers. And IMO Paul is one of the best singer-songwriters who ever lived. The man's a fvcking legend! When I was a kid I had an I LOVE PAUL button and all of his posters and cards. He was so cute as a young man and he is a very good looking man at his age. I still love the guy and seen his shows every time he comes round. I would of never imagined Paul and Woody together, its a special event. I think its wierd that people say do you like the Beatles or the Stones, as if you cant like both. Apples and oranges but both delicious. It's interesting, and I didn't know it at the time, growing up in the 60's, but, apparently, in the United Kingdom one could only be a Stones OR a Beatles fan. At least for the most part. Since we, {those of us in America--maybe other places too, I don't know} didn't have that "home country" rivalry between the two, U.S. teens could be fans of both. And I was one of those. They each had their place and served their audiences, and fans, well. Apples and oranges is the perfect way to put it. That's a bit of a stereotype which I think has been very much exaggerated , in all fairness. It does crack me up though that people - and middle aged people at that - still get worked up about it on these boards as if it's some kind of football rivalry. And act like it's still 1964. Even more so as the band members themselves were, and are, friends. Still, in every interview with Mick or Keith, when asked about their opinion about The Beatles, they seem to react a little uncomfortable and sarcastic. If Keith says their best song is Love Me Do, it's not ment funny, but it's pure sarcasme. I have never heard any of them admit The Beatles wrote alot of really good music, only that they worked together in the sixties on different levels. I often get the idea that they really can't admit how great The Beatles were. They may have been friendly to each other , but good friends? I don't think so. Closest to being a "friend" maybe was John in the late sixties when The Beatles began to fall apart, but we all know John later put a knife in Mick's back several times in different interviews.
