>>Of course, the Stones’ radio problems do stem from their age and where exactly to put them.
The Gall Stones
I just heard "Sweet Neo-Con" on the radio for the first time last night, about 1:30 a.m. actually. Sounded very Stonesy, but the lyrics were just a list of cliches that the Left has been using for years. Very unoriginal.
I've seen 'em all. Gimme Aerosmith, AC/DC, or KISS, but I'll still die a happy man if I never see the Stones again. (this coming from a 20-year-old!) If only Led Zeppelin would get back together... =P
This has very little to do with "Sweet NeoCon" and more to do with the fact that The Stones are only on Classic Rock stations who by their definition don't play new songs. How is it that some bands, Aerosmith comes immediately to mind, get played on rock, classic rock and top 40 stations and others do not?
Sweet Mother of Pearl! Are there really people who will pay that kind of money to see these old 1960's relics in concert?!
Say it ain't so Mick!
Well here in Houston, there are 2 "new music" stations that will even touch "rock" and the Stones don't fit into either of their formats (one is dance pop with hip hop, the other is the retrogrunge numetal emo boy station playing 10 year old songs as "leading edge").
Then there are the "classic rock" stations for 50s-70s, 80s, 60s-80s, and 70-90s.
Doesn't matter that the Stones have a new ablum out. If it were on a "greatest hits" compiliation they might play it.
