The Top 16 Surprises on
the Rolling Stones Tour
the Rolling Stones Tour
- Keith’s face now on National Register of Historic Places.
- Unable to escape the ravages of time, Mick’s formerly full and pouty lips now hanging to his knees.
- Reduced box office take due to frequent use of AARP discount cards.
- Hell’s Angels hired to circulate crowd and “entice” people to switch from AT&T to Sprint.
- Old smell: booze with a hint of pot. New smell: Polygrip with a hint of BenGay.
- Slightly senile musicians toss in an occasional Beatles song.
- Tour bus drives at 25 miles an hour with left blinker constantly flashing.
- There’s a distinct resemblance between Keith and that Weekend at Bernie’s guy.
- “Unplugged” section of concert consists of band members in rocking chairs reminiscing about the good old days.
- Mic stands now double as IV holders.
- During show opener, Start Me Up, Mick fires up Keith’s pacemaker.
- Famous “enlarged lips” logo replaced by “enlarged prostate” logo.
- Those drops of perspiration on Keith’s brow? Embalming fluid.
- New song: You Can’t Always Eat What You Want.
- On a monster video screen, Mick plays “connect the dots” with the needle marks on Keith’s arms.
And the Number 1 Surprise on the Rolling Stones Tour…
- Lump in back of Mick’s pants noticeably larger than lump in front of Mick’s pants.
