But I guess, it's a sign of the times, kind of like Pat Boone singing Little Richards music, back in the day.

I can hear Stu spinning in his grave. And yet there are Stones fans who actually think that their association with this sort of contrived, manufactured cheese-fest is 'cool' ?

Howe did this happen? When it comes to what fans expect or want from the Greatest Rock n Roll band In The World, are we out of the loop or something?

Fuck me.

Not surprised at all. In the end, we live in an era where the shite that is American Idol is somehow celebrated and apparently "credible" music critics and "experts" extol the musical merits of crap like Madonna and Justin Timberlake. It has always been like this but sometime after the mid 90s, popularity started to become equated with quality to a ridiculous degree. What I find very odd though about Mick is that he seems to have a soft spot for these things and public popularity (Keith is the pretty much the same but hides behind his image) but he won't go for something like a stripped down album (really stripped down, not a Bigger Bang) which will probably lead to more awards like Grammys in the same way that Dylan won for Time Out of Mind. Not that the Stones should only do stuff like that because their variety is one of their main strengths but this American Idol shite is an absolute disgrace and anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.

More power to them indeed Nellie. They didn't ask for my opinion. I'm just a rebel without a clue. The more somebody trys to sell me something,the more resistant I get. But I might watch....Depends if the Sharks are playing that night or not. Undecided

Respectfully disagree.
There is talent coming out of AI, or it would not still be on.

curiosity got the best of me.
so off to iTunes I go...

checked the "Pop" charts- no Rolling Stones listed in top 200

checked the Rock charts:
PIB - 124
GS - 135
YCAGWYW - 154
Satisfaction - 175
SFTD - 176
Beast - 192

Don't think the Boys are bringing in the big bucks yet, but it is still early...

Guess we should be happy someone is still buying these gems besides us! Wink

We've lived long enough that rock n roll isn't dangerous. America has confused being infamous for famous. Octomom, John and Kate, people faking their kid floating away, etc. So now the Stones are letting the Bible, as Keith called it, be used on AI. ICK!

I played Mother's Little Helper for my youngest son the other day. He didn't get it. That was released before I was born, but by the time I got into the Stones and heard that the first time around 1979 I could still see how releasing a song with those lyrics was a risk that most artists wouldn't take. Midnight Rambler scared the crap out of me when I first heard it. Satisfaction is still one hell of a statement.

The marketing gal in me knows this is part of the publicity machine for the Exile re-release. I just can't help being a little sad about it.

I've never gotten into AI, I'm for the old school, that an artist or band pay their dues to get where they are, instead of this overnight success, some of them end up in celebrity rehab, it's good The Stones music is acknowledged, I would imagine it would be their greatest hits kind of songs.
I like the earlier comment, that Mick should bitch slap Simon, I can't stand that guy, he thinks he's a authority on music, all these judges, what gives them the right to be judges, some of them ain't even musicians, Ellen Degeneres? the only thing she can judge, is how people get up & dance to the music, like she does.

It's going to be funny to see which songs are chosen! For sure we wont hear these tunes ~
Bitch
Little T&A
Rocks Off
Jump on Top of Me
Sister Morphine
Worried About You
Stray Cat Blues
When the Whip Comes Down
Starfucker
Let It Bleed
Sparks Will Fly
If You Cant Rock Me
I Go Wild
Love Is Strong
Respectable
Some Girls
She Was Hot
Tie You Up(Pain of Love)
Live With Me.
My dream RS setlist ~ I like all the sexy songs best!

For AI, I bet they stick to the more innocent songs, lyric-wise, and there arent many of those to choose from! Most of the songs arent suited for a 16 year old boy or a 17 year old girl! Thats why I think this is going to be really funny, they cant possibly pull it off, but whoever does, could turn out to be the winner!
