I'D HAVE TO KILL MYSELF . . .

tom turner · 02-05-2006, 08:24 PM

I think I'd have to kill myself if I had to play two chord rock and roll like the Rolling Stones are cursed to play until they die. It must truly suck to be cursed to the same 2-chord "repertoire for 45 years straight and counting.

Jeez . . . did they suck at the Stupor Bowl . . . a bunch of sixty-year olds entertaining folks who probably can only "connect" to bands that play two chords REAL LOUD!

I hated those numbskulls when they first came out . . . and still do. Heck, does American Idol have an age limit?

You got it Tom!!

The Motown crew did a much better job in my opinion!

Um, I think the Stones could qualify for the Senior Citizen version of American Idol.....just barely.

I am with you Tom, I would have to borrow your gun if I were sentenced to two chords for the rest of my life. LOL.

I was busy watching the Simpsons... you guys missed out.

The best 'garage band' in the world. I'm not a Stones fan but I think they're real good at what they do. Wadda think they got; maybe a mill per song? Tough to argue with that.
Whew~

Of course from a financial aspect, how much are they being paid for those two chords?

You have a very good point there 40cal.

Yes Greg, they are one of the all-time greatest garage bands, I must admit. I do like a handful of their songs. "Can you hear me knockin'" is one of my favs.

For the kind of money they pay the Stones to play their two chords, I would be happy to get onstage and recite Vogon poetry. When it comes to musicians performing on (inter)national television these days, it's really not about the music, it's just about the Benjamins. Ah, those sweet Benjamins. Dump truck after dump truck full of Benjamins...

Two chords? All I have to say is...

"So What?"

Yeah I had to laugh...

I looked at Mick Jager and I told my wife e-gads he looks like a skelaton with clothes on!

And Keith Richards still looks like he's been using two pounds of blow per day yikes...

I can see it now Superbowl 50 See the Rolling Stones in their wheelchairs..

I think I would have appreciated some different musical stylings. I wonder what Janet and Justin were up to?
