The Stones to Trump: Stop, Loser!

I love the Rolling Stones, but this just made me love them more:

Despite being the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump is having a difficult time finding a song to soundtrack his campaign. Over the past few months, Mr. Drumpf has used songs by Adele, R.E.M., and Neil Young, only to receive cease and desist notices from each artist. With Woody Guthrie’s music also out of the equation, Trump chose to soundtrack Tuesday night’s victory speech with Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Start Me Up”.

Given that Keith Richards once pulled a knife on Trump, it’s hardly a surprise to learn the Stones have already issued their own cease and desist against the presidential candidate. According to a statement obtained by CBS, the band has not given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and “have requested that they cease all use immediately.”

Keith Richards remains the coolest dude in the world. Donald Trump? Still a loser.

Have a Nice Tuesday Night

Happy Monday

Happy Friday

Back in June, I went and saw the Rolling Stones in Pittsburgh with my Dad. It was my fourth Stones show, dating all the way back to 1994. I had a thought that it might be my last time seeing them. It turns out they aren't done yet. Today, the Stones announced a Latin American tour. The dates are:

The Rolling Stones 2016 Tour Dates:
02/03 – Santiago, CL @ Estadio Nacional
02/07 – Buenos Aires, AR @ La Plata Stadium
02/10 – Buenos Aires, AR @ La Plata Stadium
02/13 – Buenos Aires, AR @ La Plata Stadium
02/16 – Montevideo, UY @ Centenario Stadium
02/20 – Rido de Janerio, BR @ Maracana Stadium
02/24 – Sao Paulo, BR @ Morumbi

My guess is that next Summer we'll see an American tour that hits more of the big cities that they skipped this year- namely places like New York City or Philadelphia. So... maybe one more time?
