Anyone that denigrates the (early) Stones is cruising for a bruising!!! My one sad regret is that I didn't go and see them live in Richmond in 1961 when I had the chance. Excellent point ! Fuzzy DID mock the stones didnt she ? Where is the moderator when we NEED him? I've seen the Stones 8 times. Every show an amazing treat. But some weasles dont understand the joy. I have noticed that the crowds at the shows are not pups anymore. Especially the women. They arnt eternally young, like us......... ID: 508122 ·
