",I wish The Stones were fun and had a sense of humor,"
You know Bernard, I think the Stones were fun way all the way into the 70's when they still were simply a band, which in essence, they aren't anymore. They are just a production, a nostalgia act who can't perform these days without being propped up by numerous stage musicians. Thing is, they are laughing all the way to the bank every time they tour, it is quite a cash cow they are milking, no?
I wonder if at some point when they hang it up, will they quit for good, or franchise the name out? Gene Simmons said he'd do that with Kiss when he retires, just have four guys put on the makeup, play the same songs, spit blood, breathe fire, etc. It wouldn't be a stretch that the Stones could also do something similar, to keep the money coming in for their estates since they've long ceased to be a true band.
