Come on stage with walkers or electric wheelchairs? Give it up- because to be sure in all those bucks are loop tape tracks. The time keeper? Chuck Leavell-— the beat counter comes on the stage monitors to match the playback augment. That’s one.

And now? AARP is going to cancel their sponsorship. What a shame. Clapton having to quit because of arthritis? That was a big milestone— he is a musician.. an artist, a student of the blues and rock.

Old and in the way. Listen to the records. Trini Lopez is 81 years old and still playing. Tony Joe White toured until he died, and played straight up- no tapes- every show. Died last year in October. Still singing great.

Am sooo tired of this hype, heroin, and bull crap. No where the talent of any number of fine American musicians.

And these are opinions, and not just mine. Weary- the sound track of the lib Left of the world. Take Knopfler any day, and frankly, the Eagles, and Joe Walsh on the US side.

It’s important to note that your contention is that the Stones do not actually PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS in their concerts.

That it’s all taped.

“No where the talent of any number of fine American musicians.”

And, their talent is questionable, with many American musicians eclipsing them.

I just want to summarize for posterity and review by the rest of the board here. Because those of us who have seen them live KNOW it’s not taped music and wonder how somebody like yourself could be so delusional.

They must have had somebody else play the instruments on their latest 2018 Grammy album...

Yeah, a bunch of fakers...
