Sweet Neo-Con

Speaking as an artist, and knowing many aritists in the music industry, the art community, the photography community, the poetry community, the ceramic community, and the sculpture community, etc... I hope nobody ever tells me to stop doing what I love doing, simply because they don't appreciate it.

As Dylan (another of those wrinkled up corpses) once wrote: "..don't criticize, what you can't understand."

Besides, age discrimination is just another form of intolerance.

Mick's so old, that if he "Can't Get No Satisfaction"...he should try Viagra!

Should we call this the "Dead Men Walking" tour?

Many of the great blues musicians perform(ed) into their senior years. They just got better or do ya'll consider them washed up has-beens. I'd have given my eye teeth to have seen Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin Wolf and many others at any point in their careers. The Stones have'nt been successful all by them selves. Weren’t they inspired by some of the blues musicians I just named?

Being discriminating IS NOT intolerance. The Stones rate right up there with Harry Belefonte for not knowing how to reason. More to the point they lie, usually by omission, but just the same, they lie. It gets them attention too when artistically they may not deserve any. THAT is pathetic. If anyone needs a classic example of peer pressure at work you only need look at artists as a group and then pay attention to the sub groups which take opposite stands on issues. It ain't arguable. It's a fact, Jack. One big circle jerk if I ever saw one.
