Looking at this picture I can't help but wonder WHAT really drives this
man?
While he deserves no pity, I do feel for him...at 70 years old, it should not be too long that he should just be sipping tea at his country estate, thinking about the next football match and reading the financial times...and really relaxing and enjoying the fruits of his labor....as well as the fruits of others!!
While I am not comparing the Stones to the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir many times had stated that the GD machine was so well oiled that it became apparent that their 500+ employees, most with families to support, would be essentially laid off and out of work had the GD machine stopped touring...
This is not the case with the Stones...all their peeps work while not touring ( I just saw Lisa, for example, singing back up for Nine Inch Nails (best indoor show I have seen since Prince 2010)...Do I want them to stop? Simple answer is NO. Would I be upset if they did, simple answer is NO. Do I want to see them one last time? YESSSS!!!!!
