I had the recent privilege of attending a concert by the legendary and iconic rock band, the Rolling Stones. We had good seats, Giants stadium was packed and yet it was all so much more lame than I imagined. I mean, yes Mick Jagger is still skinny enough that he looks like he's doing heroine backstage and Keith Richards still has a lot of hair but the guys have really yuppied it up to the point where it's hard to imagine that they were ever unconventional. And yes part of the problem is the crowd- when tickets cost $175 a pop you're likely to end up with a lot of middle-aged baby boomers in sweater vests swinging their fat asses around while singing along to Honky Tonk Women. I digress. The point of this post is that the Smoking Gun has posted the Stones tour requests- basically everywhere they perform they have this long list of things the venue needs to get them. Well, it would seem that one of the things that they absolutely must have (see you can tell it's important because it's underlined!) is cricket![Smoking Gun] Yes, that's right- instead of getting high backstage, these days MJ likes to relax and watch a little cricket. Edgy? I think so.....
