I think some people just go to these types of shows because they know these guys may not be around for too much longer. They're willing to pay $150 or whatever because they never know when they'll turn on the news and hear that Keith Richards is dead.

Selling out songs on TV commercials is the worst. These guys made their money and fame on songs that had real meaning, and now they sell them out. "Start Me Up" (Stones), "Dream On" (Aerosmith) are just a couple of examples of sell-out TV commercials. And don't get me started on BB King being the poster guy for Burger King.
