I got my plans I don't know about you (Stones concert!)

[_Jersey Girl]

I'll tell you exactly what Imma gonna do.

You can't always get what you want. But if you try some time, you just might find that you can snag tickets for some girls to spend the night together with THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND ON EARTH the one the only ROLLING STONES for the second and possibly only other time in your entire life one night this May.

Mick! Keith! I'm coming boys! Just stay alive until May!

Get in the groove and let the good times roll!

Perfume isn't coming to my area or I'd give it ago.

I'm so stinking happy I can't stand it! This was cooked up on my birthday earlier this month when I mentioned to the younger generation that I had toyed with the idea of taking them to see THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND ON EARTH but that I didn't think they'd care, when they jumped on it!

So...their first time and my last time to see them.

Dropped a pretty penny on tickets and I don't mean the nosebleed seats either! They're so worth it. I love them!

I might need binoculars...

[_Jersey Girl]

Oh look! Here they are Tumbling Dice in Jersey. With Bruce!

I'm glad that you get pleasure from hearing The Rolling Stones, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy their concert, but I don't share your high opinion of them. I have heard rock and roll music that I really enjoyed, but it is not really my thing. As far as rock and roll is concerned, I thought the Beetles were better, and some of their music was pure genius. I am particularly impressed with their Eleanor Rigby, especially versions of that tune arranged for a concert orchestra. I, personally, would not pay good money to hear a Rolling Stones concert, based on what little I have heard of their music. Perhaps I have just not heard their best. I would pay good money (and have paid good money) to hear groups like Pentatonix (I absolutely love their music and arrangements), Chanticleer, any good symphony orchestra or jazz group (among which one of my favorites is Cornet Chop Suey, based in St. Louis). Check any of them out on You Tube! You might particularly like Cornet Chop Suey's tribute to Louis Armstrong.

I also adore singers like Josh Groban, Jackie Evancho, Jayna Brown, Laura Bretan, and most especially the Norwegian soprano, Sissel, widely renowned as having the most beautiful and versatile singing voice and repertoire on earth. I would likely be willing to give a month's salary for the chance to hear Sissel sing in person and talk to her in her native Norwegian!

I can’t get no! Hey hey hey! That’s what I say!

Oh, my friend...

Your taste in music is so respectable one could hardly argue with it and since I didn't intend for this thread to construct a debate between genres, I have something more to share.

Remember years ago when you thought I was a Fundie (still think that?) looking to condemn Mormonism and you (among others) helped translate Mormonism into Mainstream Christian-speak for me so that I could understand?

Let me return the favor. Please allow me to introduce you to the Stones in a language that might be more to your liking and that you can perhaps appreciate.

Consider it a gift. I love you friend. :-)

Sympathy for the Devil
The Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee as your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedy?"
When after all
It was you and me
So let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse?
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh baby
Oh yeah
Tell me baby, what's my name
Oh tell me honey, can you guess my name?
Oh oh oh oh
Tell me honey, what's my name
Oh, just the sweetest, tell me what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
(Oh oh oh)
Can papa get a holler now?

I can’t get no! Hey hey hey! That’s what I say!

That song was popular the first time I went to see them in concert in Asbury Park with an Italian boy who sure knew how to come up with a great first date. We were so young, my mother had to drive us to Convention Hall and take us home again. If I am not mistaken, the opening act was the lesser known The Who. Not joking.

I'm very happy to see them again before we all fade away!

Awesome. Me, I'm going to Perfume. ;=)

And you'll beat me by precisely one week. I sure hope you'll be kind enough to give us an after action report.
