Aguilera Leaves Richards Confused

 

KEITH RICHARDS was left bewildered when CHRISTINA AGUILERA joined THE ROLLING STONES to perform a song during their new MARTIN SCORSESE-directed concert film - because he had no idea who she was.

 

The guitarist looks a little puzzled on film as Aguilera takes the stage for a rendition of Live With Me in new rockumentary Shine A Light, and he freely admits he thought she was a fan invading the stage.

 

Richards says, "This girl came out and I was like, 'Who is that?' I had no idea. "I'm still not sure who that is. She can sing, though. And she looked good."

Rolling Stones, YouTube team up for music channel

 

The Rolling Stones and the YouTube video Web site have teamed up to launch a new entertainment channel.

 

According to a statement from the band and record label Universal, fans can upload questions to the Stones about "Shine a Light," a new documentary about the veteran rockers directed by Martin Scorsese, as well as "any other burning questions."

 

"By visiting www.youtube.com/livinglegends, viewers will be able to upload footage of themselves asking their questions to Mick Jagger and/or Keith Richards," the statement said.

 

"The best questions will be personally answered, with the subsequent footage of the Rolling Stones available to watch exclusively on this new YouTube channel in a few weeks' time."

 

YouTube is featuring a short video clip of Jagger and Richards to promote the channel on the main page of its site in the United States and across much of Europe and Asia.

 

YouTube is launching a music channel called YouTube Living Legends which invites top pop acts from around the world to communicate with fans via the popular site.

 

The announcement on Friday comes shortly after MySpace, the world's biggest social networking site, said it had created an online music venture with three major record companies in a challenge to Apple Inc's iTunes Music Store.

Rolling Stone's Wood gets British police warning

By MEERA SELVA, Associated Press Writer

 

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

 

(12-22) 08:51 PST LONDON, United Kingdom (AP) --

 

Rocker Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones was given a formal police warning Tuesday for assault, his spokesman said.

 

Spokesman David Rigg confirmed that Wood, who is 62, received the warning, or caution, after he was arrested earlier this month for assault near his home in Esher, in southern England.

 

Rigg said he was unable for legal reasons to give details of who made the complaint against Wood.

 

A caution is a formal warning given by police. It is not a criminal conviction but police keep a record of it for five years.

 

Wood's private life has been in turmoil for more than a year since he started a high-profile relationship with Ekaterina Ivanova, a 20-year-old Russian cocktail waitress.

 

That relationship led to his divorce last month from Jo Wood, his wife of 24 years, on grounds of adultery.

 

The Woods have two children together.

 

When asked about Wood, Surrey Police said a 62-year-old man had been cautioned over a domestic incident. Neither Surrey Police nor Rigg gave any further details.

 

Wood issued a statement through his spokesman saying: "I am greatly relieved that this matter is resolved and look forward to 2010 very positively."

 

Wood is a longtime guitarist with the Rolling Stones, one of the world's most popular rock bands. He joined the band in 1976 and has spent more than three decades touring the world with the band, one of the most successful live acts in history.

 

According to Forbes, the band recently earned about $88 million in one 12-month stretch.

 

In recent years Wood has also found success as an artist, selling his paintings in numerous galleries.

 

His romantic troubles have provided ample fodder for Britain's tabloids, who have run repeated photographs of the craggy, aging rocker cavorting with his young Russian girlfriend.

 

He was treated for alcoholism in 2008.

Thinking about it, those bands in the 60s were pretty static on stage,

of course most of the guys were wired up to guitars etc

the shadows managed a kind of step, syncronized dance...

 

but Mick is different, he loves to move, to dance , to react, he is a born showman

a very bright guy, a mega talented songwriter... good looking too ( until recently )

 

Lets face it , Mick had everything in the 60s and 70s huge fame, wealth, success

and the adoration of an army of women.... who could ask for more ?

As for touring and live performing

they ve outdone the Beatles a hundred times over.
