LONDON (AP) — You can't always get what you want — but if your desire is to attend a Rolling Stones concert this might be your lucky day.

The legendary band said Monday it would return to the stage this year with four concerts in Britain and the United States. The shows will take place on Nov. 25 and 29 at London's O2 Arena, followed by gigs on Dec. 13 and 15 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, just outside of New York.

The shows mark the first time in five years that the Stones have performed live, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood all coming together once more. The band said it was the "crowning glory" of celebrations marking its 50th anniversary of its first gig.

... really know how they can continue.

From the article: Their last global tour, "A Bigger Bang," earned more than $500 million between 2005 and 2007."

Perhaps that sheds a little light on the matter. :-)

That said, I'll be 54 tomorrow, just started playing in a band a year ago to scratch another item off my bucket list and I'm already getting sick of it. Part of the problem is that my wife insists that she's the only groupie I'm allowed to have. WTF?!
