3. Why shouldn't they?
They could be literally on life support or in wheelchairs on stage and still sound better than 90% of the shit on corporate radio.

7. the stones were pioneers of corporate rock
They were one of the first to have tours sponsored by large corporations to make a few more bucks. As long as they can make a buck, they'll tour--there seems to be no bounds once greed gets a hol.

8. I was thinking the same thing
But they'd still probably be better than 99.9% of the shit they paved the way for.

14. God, I hope not. I think they should retire from the stage, NOW.
Sad to see a bunch of old geezers trying to act like they're still in their 20's.

It's like watching old people (your parents) porno.

It's JUST NOT RIGHT!

15. They'll still be touring when I'm 70....and I'm 28 at the moment!

I was going to see them when they played Shanghai, but they cancelled due to SARS.

16. If the economy's like this...
nobody will be able to afford the $1100 they're going to want to charge for a ticket, so they probably won't tour.
