Stones should have split up 25 years ago.

See this film and you will change your mind.....no band rocks as hard!

It's so sad that some people are so lonely and their lives so empty that they troll around on websites to complain about music they don't like, or to whine about singers they've never heard, and to congratulate themselves for being stuck in such deep ruts they make george bush look broad-minded.

A couple of these posters have spent far too many years all alone in their basement singing to themselves in a mirror, while this whole world was raging in a cyclone all around them with phenomenal music by men in their 60s and women in their 20s.

But here's the deaf shut-ins saying Aguilera has no soul when the music industry itself selected her out of everyone alive to pay the tribute to The Godfather of SOUL, and how she brought down the house in a way that people are still talking about it more than a year later, and now has been chosen by the greatest rock n roll band of all time to join them on stage. But here come the lonely rut-dwellers to splatter all over their keyboards about worlds they know nothing about in order to feel a little bit better for just a moment about the nothingness of their lives.

Myself and several hundred million people all over the world are sure happy that The Stones have kept getting better and are delivering some of the best performances of their entire career, and that they still have the insight to see and select the very best of the younger generation to join in their ongoing musical celebration and journey.

This is a joy and a blessing for all music lovers of all ages -- except, evidently, the tiny cockroaches in the basement. The rest of us have been given such a gift -- that with all the tremendous groups that are no longer with us, that one of them is still going so strong, and is able to connect itself in a film to both the blues that came before them and the vocalists who will carry the torch forward.

This is a wonderful magical blessing that these shows were captured on film by a cinematic master for the world to see now, and into perpetuity.

Enjoy the majesty, and ignore the satanic rejects. These hot rocks are still glowing and the *beep* tonk women are still wailing!

Then don't watch them. Maybe McCartney should retire.

I went to this movie today and really liked it. I have only seen the Stones in concert 2x. (76 & 88). I have always admired Christina's voice and was very impressed with her duet with Mick. She was fabulous. And I am sure Mick enjoyed dancing with her onstage too. It is not unlike the Stones to have guest artists join them onstage. Tina Turner did, among others I can't list right off the top of my head. I see nothing wrong with them having people like Christina & Jack White perform with them. After all I am sure both of these artists were thrilled to be asked to perform and were most likely influenced in some way by The Stone's music over the years.

Christina can REALLY sing and to criticize her performance/voice or even say she had nothing to do with The Stones is unjustified. Good on you Christina: This was a moment in your career you will never forget!

Oh, come on!
The Rolling Stones have been together this long, it will be sad when they retire from the music business. They might be old, but they still have it. Look at Mick Jagger while he performs. It's like he's 20. Keith may look a bit rough, but he's a great guitarist.
Stones Forever!

Who are you experimenting with when the opportunity presents itself?

I remember back in the '60s, when we'd see these old jazz and blues musicians. We knew they weren't at their prime, buy hey, they're still something special.
