Rolling Stone reunion ...

I am not a former Rolling Stone staffer nor am I a current one, but apparently anyone and everyone from the magazine's band of employees is getting back together on the West Coast to celebrate 40 years next month.

One of the guys I work with worked there in the 70s. He said he ain't goin' if Hunter ain't goin'.

 

Can they discuss why every Yoko Ono album is tabbed as a masterpiece?

 

Do you think they'll stand around and go "Do you remember when we didn't suck? That was cool."

 

Hunter will be there in some form ...

 

Nicely done.

 

Will they talk about what a starfucker Jann Wenner is?

 

When I clicked on this thread I couldn't for the life of me figure out why a Rolling Stones reunion tour would be on the JO board.

 

Old hippies! Parking lot full of VW buses with McGovern stickers.

Might be interesting to catch up with the old RS stars. I wonder if they still listen to rock 'n' roll.

 

Dude may have gotten his ass kicked, but he certainly had it right on 'Nam.

 

Shit, everyone knew Vietnam was a hopeless disaster by '72. Remember, Nixon ran in '72 on his "secret plan" to end the war. Here was the secret -- withdraw troops and call an end to the debacle.

 

I'm going ... so I can pimp slap whatever reviewer gave the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels album four stars back in '89.

I like the Stones too, but dammit, virtually nothing after '81 or so deserves accolades at all.
