Love the music, don't like their lifestyles.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1320638/The-girl-nearly-broke-Stone...

Reading this article (which is one of many) reinforces my opinion of the Stones. I love their music, but i dont approve of their lifestyles. You may say, who am i to pass judgement, but i'm afraid i do. I tend to keep the two separate, the music, and everything else. Even to the extent of putting the "Shine a Light" dvd on my ipod, i edited out the talking bits. ----Music only please----

And the drug taking, never done it, and never will.

Weird, when I first looked at this topic I thought it read 'love the music, hate the hairstyle'. Must be quite a few beers and little sleep. Your statement is noted, I mostly think 'whatever' when it comes to the Stones' lifestyle.

As for the link: Tony Sanchez...back from the dead. Didn't know the Daily Mail could do that. I hope they bring back Elvis sometime this week.

I didn't know Tony Sanchez was dead.

Died June 2000, apparently - admittedly not the 'twenty years' I genuinely thought was the case, but the point still remains.

I actually think the notes in one of the previous editions of his book stated something like vague like 'Tony Sanchez died some years ago' on the dust jacket comments.

The book is being republished. Must be a tour coming up, then. In which case, I also expect Philip Norman's tedious 1984 tome to get the same treatment any day now. Every time there's a bit of new activity for him to cash in on, you can bank on a new 'updated version' for the Daily Mail to salivate and tut-tut over - the updates usually amount to about four pages covering the last ten years, which read like it's been written in his tea break and researched by a baboon.

Keith more or less said that a lot of the 'basic facts' were true, but that Sanchez' ghost writer had embellished quite a few of them, leading him to doubt how much of it was Sanchez' own work, as (to use Keith's words), 'Tony can barely write his own name'.

The book first came out around 1979, I think. Havent read it in ages, so can't recall if he suggested there was foul play or, if he did, whether he was the first to do so.

Better seen on weed!

smoking more weed is good for your health

Me neither, and it's never motivated me to think of them as 'role models' in either a positive or negative way.

The only issue I have is if their lifestyles interfere with their ability to function as competent musicians. If you're paying a lot of dough for a concert ticket (and have flown a long way to attend and have booked hotels, etc), the least you should expect is for a performer to do their best to ensure that they're in a state where they can play and/or sing as well as they can.

High prices are a bit of a two way street for a performer in that if they're taking more, they have to be seen to be trying to give more in return - it raises expectation levels, and they really can't have off nights. Which isn't easy to do when you get older.

Unlike you Paul, I love the lifestyle! I envy it, fantasize about it, and for me there can be no seperation of the music from the lifestyle. If you listen to the lyrics and you like the lyrics, than how can you not like the lifestyle? It's one and the same, man! It's all about freedom to do what you want to do in life, and not being afraid to express it, which all shines through in the music! IMO

That Ratzinger (ex-LuftBiffen, ex-HiYo), I'm telling you, he's creepy, man. The kind of creepy that makes your socks sweat. No spliffing belladona, he never gets high. Creepy.
