lol..yeah I screwed up when I tried to update my original post..........be the first time I have ever been quoted trust me on that!

In Holland it was on the news this evening. Keith has said for the BBC that next year a new tour will begin. Nothing about a new album.

Yes he did say it on the BBC.  Heard it with me own ears!

Listening to the interview, did anyone else think it didnt sound definite, but probable.

Haven't heard it, but I do think this is the first time he actually gave a time frame of when they will start working, so it's very good to hear.

Maybe now that the Republicans are in charge they have more faith in ticket sales? 

Don't make tour plans yet:
No plans for Rolling Stones tour, says official spokesman
Despite Keith Richards telling BBC 6Music that 'everybody's ready to go', the Rolling Stones press spokesman says there are no concrete plans in place to tour or release a new album

A spokesman for the Rolling Stones has denied rumours that the band are due to tour in 2011.

The rumours were sparked after Keith Richards told BBC 6Music that "everybody's ready to go out there again".

However a statement from the band's press office issued today says: "There are no concrete plans for the Rolling Stones to tour. The same applies to rumours that they are going into the studio soon to record a new album."

During the BBC interview, Richards had said: "Who said it should stop, and who said when? Only we will know when it comes to an end, with a crashing halt." He also added: "We're looking forward to working."

Earlier this week, Richards was quoted as saying: "After these many years working together, we have a lot of unfinished stuff to work on that we had to leave off the last album. Knowing Mick [Jagger], as I do, he's a very prolific writer. I have ideas [too] and we'll put them together in December or January." However, it has been stressed by the band's official spokesman that none of these plans are confirmed as yet.

The Rolling Stones will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012.

Is it just me or has anyone noticed, in a lot of news articles the person they quote is always, A)A spokesman B) The neighbor C) A close friend...etc

Not in just RS articles, but in many articles...the quoted source seems to never have a name, thus it makes you wonder if they just invent these articles?

Bingo!

I am guessing they have got a load of unfinished/unworked numbers or bits and Don Was or whoever is producing is going to have to sift through it with them to see what got and what they can come up with.

Possibly this time isn't so much a "start fresh" (stemming from what either of the two brought in from the past odd months as usually happens before). Maybe, they are going to go back farther to dig up unfinished ideas they had together on some previous albums as well this time and put the best of the new things and older revamped/upworked stuff together to the album.

Only a concept (kinda like the way Tattoo You was proposed).

Oh come on I know....

In addition, to these websites or papered outlets not ever mentioning the name ...further ...how is this person affiliated and/or what way are they an official representation of the band??

I have one:

Against much talk, a spokesperson for the band reports The Rolling Stones are proposing their next tour, now slated to start as early as January, 2011, are planning to host every other show completely free of charge. This proposal is said to be a grand gesture of gratification to the entertainment industry, and music fans alike. The source goes on to say "The Rolling Stones are very much involved and in support of their next experimental musical venture, which includes distributing tickets at most public libraries next year without base pricing or ticket fees"...

See now that isn't so hard now is it...

Don't get me wrong. There are some instances in which an actual spokesperson is named, and it is stated as such. One out of 20 times it just may be factual. Realistically speaking, more often than not many, many (most mathematically) media outlets that are stating such snippets are simply filling pages or looking to gain following...

Why? Who is ever going to look into it? Who is actually going to confirm this? More to the point .... if the outlet is found to be "full of it" ....what is really going to be done about it? Especially for stating something so minimal... It is a short snippet and it's gone. If a really "credible" source such as Rolling Stone Magazine or MTV News states something it is has much weight. They have been misinformed here and again as well, but they, at least don't put out total BS simply to gain an audience... Why? because they have a reputation to protect and/or they would actually be worth suing if someone cared.
