The Rockers Just Keep Rolling

I don't know what i find more depressing. The fact that the biggest grossing band in the world for the first half of 2006 ($147.3 million) was the wheelchair-ready Rolling Stones. Or the fact that they are gearing up for an encore act around North America, including a November 3rd stop in Vancouver. I'd be embarassed if I was a big band like Cold Play or U2 that the Stones still comand that kind of dough - mostly because i think it suggests that most bands of today still couldn't win a battle of the bands competition with some geriatrics that are amune to the ravages of age and booze even if they do seem to fall out of trees and spent a few weeks in rehab (no offense Keith Richards or Ron Wood). Either way, break out the extra supply of Depends, Vancouver because Mick Jagger turns 63 today! [Vancouver Sun]

In other Music News curtesty of this handy Vancouver Sun listing page: I can't believe I'm going to miss the return of popsters World Party who are hitting Vancouver at Richards on Richards on August 9th. Well, maybe the idea that I could be missing a chance to see Kim Mitchell (And let me just say, you're gonna want to be clicking that link. 1. the intro is A-Mazing! And 2. Not only does he label his site "The home of all that's good on the web" he looks freakishly unbelievable these days. Just click it!) in Concert hurts just a little bit too much, but you can see him for 2 sweet nights August 17-18th. Why can't he be coming to Paris by god. He is a wild party...
