One thing that I have discovered recently as I have rediscovered older rock is that the Stones have always been overrated as a band. Keith Richards could play some catchy riffs, but his solos were never as good as the top notch players. The vocals come across as very sloppy. Furthermore, they haven't done anything good in over twenty years. On the rare occasions that I hear their newer stuff on the radio, it is lame and sounds like a parody of their older stuff. My picture of a Stones concert is an old Mick Jagger prancing around the stage pretending to be a rock star while a bunch of old women throw Depends on stage.

Brian Jones and Mick Taylor knew how to perform. Brian died, but some of Mick's work with Dylan is great! Ron Wood didn't add anythning to the Stones IMHO.

This sounds like an appropriate Freeping concert attendance activity. Non violent, butt filled with adequately descriptive sentiments of what the Jaggoff is singing about our country, and leader!
Maybe a melted hershey, or baby ruth in the middle.
