I`m still trying to get my head around this 'the stones should have given up years ago' thing.

Why should they?

They still get a kick out of playing live , there are thousands of people willing to watch them play and above all they have a back catalogue that most bands would kill for.

So there current material isn`t so good , hardly a crime , they might not have made a great album since the early 70s but they`ve still written some great tunes since then.
The way I see it the stuff they wrote in the 60s & early 70s is of such good quality these songs deserve to be heard.I`ve never heard anybody say of BB King 'Oh that old bastard hasn`t recorded a decent album in decades & should give up now he`s in his eighties'.

Besides i`d rather the Stones stuck together than split up & force crap like Mull Of Kintrye & The Frog Chorus on us.
