Right now he's a collector without much money, but he is most certainly a collector. I can think of 20 different bits of evidence supporting this off the top of my head, and in 5 minutes, think of 20 more.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-15516256933723811562010-03-30T15:39:49.751-07:002010-03-30T15:39:49.751-07:00Also:

Various musicians will perform songs from the album (including Phish, who played Exile in its entirety at their Halloween concert last year), and Fallon has strongly hinted that Jagger and Richards will also appear, most likely on Friday the 14th, when I think some of the new DVD will be aired.<br />Why Fallon? The Stones are signed to Universal, which owns NBC, which broadcasts Fallon's show.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-40855381724010765062010-03-30T15:17:19.129-07:002010-03-30T15:17:19.129-07:00It depends.

If this set had knocked my socks off, I'd spend the $. But it doesn't. And maybe if I had more money on hand, it wouldn't be such an issue.<br /><br />Like I said, I want to buy this, but I can't justify it. Too much for too little.<br /><br />Though if every JoS reader donated 50 cents ..... hmmmmm .....allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-16290299112972764342010-03-30T15:10:45.341-07:002010-03-30T15:10:45.341-07:00Are you a fan, or a collector? I'm a fan. I on...Are you a fan, or a collector? I'm a fan. I only buy something like this to the extent that it gives me music I don't already have -- or in better quality. (Obviously, if Prince deigns to ever put out any more of his '80's outtakes, I will buy it even if I already have the songs, partly out of a sense of rightness and partly to have them in the best quality.)<br /><br />I have spent a little on books and documentary type stuff, some of it bought and some bootlegged. I find it interesting at first (I was so hyper about Peter Gabriel in college that I bought a book about him instead of a ticket to see Laurie Anderson, duh) but in the long run, not all that compelling. A lot of music books, despite nice photographs, I just don't pick up a second time, and that makes it not really worth buying.<br /><br />But -- you write about this stuff so it might be a lot more interesting for you. I'd just buy the 2-CD version. And may, for my wife.Zenslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040836002694584468noreply@blogger.com
