How challenging can it be to follow Johnny Lang or the goddamn Spin Doctors?
So ask the Rolling Stones Liberation Front in a "fan protest" posted on
ClassicRock Magazine. And this is before any Stones tour announcement
has even been made, though it is of course eagerly anticipated with the
50th anniversary and all.
In "six demands" to the Stones' way of touring, the protesters want to see a
stripped down, "original" Stones line-up, the bare bones, no fuzz, fair ticket
prices and no idiot celebs giving VIP services. For starters.
A dedication like this is rare. It's a seldom passion for a sound, for a feel to it
and a history with it, honorering the Stones' importance in every line of the
"protest" - however premature with no new tour officially announced yet :-)
