    'giving birth to the “rolinga” urban Tribe, and many bands labeled as “Stone rock”, such as Ratones Paranoicos, Los Piojos and Viejas Locas.'

    Why are so many bands in Argentina named after political parties?

    Expect Toby to come on to say that he's never heard of them.

    Toby's reaction:
    Nobody in Argentina has ever even heard of the Rolling Stones and NOBODY is interested. Why would we be; we want NOTHING to do with Britain. NOTHING, I am telling you. You HATE it when I tell you that don't you because you just want Argentina to like you and talk to you. Well we want nothing to do with you. Do you hear? Nothing. NOTHING! You hate hearing that don't you....

    My reaction:
    zzzzz....

    Apparently they've re-recorded an old classic for the occasion:

    I can't get no Falkland Islands
    I can't get no Falkland Islands
    'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
    I can't get no, I can't get no

    When I'm flyin’ in Tango One
    And Hector’s on the radio
    And he's tellin' me more and more
    About some stupid bird migration
    Supposed to fire my imagination
    I can't get no, oh no no no

    Hey hey hey, that's what I say

    I can't get no Falkland Islands
    I can't get no Falkland Islands
    'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
    I can't get no, I can't get no

    When I'm watchin' my TV
    And Clarkson comes on to tell me
    Top Gear wasn’t taking the pee
    But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't believe
    The same bullshit as me
    I can't get no, oh no no no
    Hey hey hey, that's what I say

    I can't get no Falkland Islands
    I can't get no archi-pelago
    Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
    I can't get no, I can't get no

    When I'm ridin' round the world
    And I'm whining’ ‘bout this this and I'm whinin’ ‘bout that
    And the vultures are circling round me
    And my bad arse day has been going on for a week
    Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
    I can't get no, oh no no no

    Hey hey hey, that's what I say
    I can't get no, I can't get no
    I can't get no Falkland Islands
    No Falkland Islands, no Falkland Islands, no Falkland Islands

    the problem, you assholes, is not with the intelligent, sensitive, creative british people.
    that´s why the rolling stones, among many other british bands, sportsmen, sport teams, intellectuals, even tourists, are welcome.

    the problem is with people like you lot, band of imbeciles or with recalcitrant twats like clarkson.

    British pensioners do like some sunshine in the winter. Jagger and KFC obviously both share the same lip surgeon.

    To end the show they could sing “you can't always get what you want”, and then unfurl a Falkland Islands flag.....

    Mick:

    Don't let them try to pay you with the rotting roadkill payso's! They are unconvertible anywhere in the rest of the world. They are only good for choripan and quilmes. You can't even by the local candy with them.

    And Quilmes sucks. Anyone ever try to get a good ale in Argentina? Try finding an IPA, they have no clue what hops is in SA.

    I wonder how much the tickets will cost?
    How many months salary for the average Argentine music fan?

    They are usually at least $300 when they come to the USA and play the NFL stadiums. When they played in Fenway, people were ebaying tickets and they were reaching $4,000.

    @8 very good - There are a number of other Rolling stones songs that seem relevant to Argentina, perhaps these can form the basis of their set:

    You can't always get what you want - but if you try sometimes well you might find, you get what you need (your arse handed to you).
    You better move on (fat chance)
    It's all over now (and was 30 years ago but we can't let it go)
    What a Shame
    Aint too Proud to Beg
    Gimme Shelter
    Biggest Mistake (but we won't admit it)
    Doom and Gloom (but we have Choripan)
    Oh No, Not you again (theme from Argentine UN speeches)

    Then maybe a Cretina themed medley

    Paint it, Black
    Sympathy for The Devil
    Bitch
    19th Nervous Breakdown

    I'm gonna say how it's gonna be
    You're gonna give your islands to me
    I'm gonna whine night and day
    I'm not gonna stop till I've gotten my way
    Not gonna stop till I've gotten my way

    Everybody knows my claim is crap
    But that won't stop me getting them back
    I'm gonna write to Ban Ki Moon
    Get the whole world singing my tune
    Keep on whining till I've gotten my way
    Keep on whining till I've gotten my way

    I'm gonna say how it's gonna be
    You're gonna give your islands to me
    The people don't want but that's OK
    They don't count is what I say
    They don't count is what I say

    I'm not stopping till I've gotten my way
    I'm not stopping till I've gotten my way
    I'm not stopping till I've gotten my way
    I'm not stopping till I've gotten my way
    Gotten my way
    Gotten my way

    Has @9 prawn-septic got his ticket yet? Or will he be outside, jumping up and down, just trying to get a look? Which is a rather nice analogy for his life in general, considering his posts....
