Feb 15th, 2016 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Poor child, you can see the confused look on her face.
The one on the very left looks like a cadaver.
Do the Macri family speak English? Or do the Stones speak Spanish? I wonder how they communicated?
Feb 15th, 2016 - 11:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0....previously they visited the country in 1924, 1939 and 1957, and in all cases with a 'full house'
Feb 15th, 2016 - 11:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0I Think this is a signal to the Voices of tbe Peronist pariahs from Macri's government. “There is no predjudice towards the English, we love your music, your culture and we want to rejoin tbe civilised world, and hey look, we are cool!”. A great band the defies age and still projects the image of cool Britannia worldwide.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0With the attention being given to solving Argentinas financial problems, floating the currency, casting aside failed and discredited Peronist/ Communist dogma the new Argentinian government is dragging the nation back to where it should be. Good luck to Macri.
A true testimony to the importance of having once found the correct mixture of illicit drugs to maintaining that ratio in perpetuity until the body is virtually embalmed as a barrier to the otherwise normal effects of aging - save for its outward manifestations.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They might be able to continue on another 5 or 10 years in this condition.
And at burial their bodies will require very little processing in preparation as they are already virtually mummified at this juncture.
Rock on lads!

Feb 15th, 2016 - 04:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Illicit drugs”
Here's chronically chronic being chronic again.
The Stones have on their own made successful the careers of multiple dealers.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ha! The Yanks are jealous. The worlds most innovative and popular Rock bands are all from Europe. The NFL is a midget compared with the English Premier League, even playing at Wembley hoping some of the stardust will rub off. F1 trumps Indy cars worldwide. Brucey and the Dixie Chicks had the right idea though but have been called traitors. Chronically short on ideas as usual.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 05:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dixie who?
Feb 15th, 2016 - 05:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just to show how nice the Argentinians really are and how much they value their guests:: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/rolling_stones_under_24_hour_guard_after_crewmember_shot_dead.html
Feb 15th, 2016 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3 “Do the Macri family speak English? ”
Feb 15th, 2016 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes.
We've actually got much better commie songwriting bastards than those.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 07:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Comrade Pete Seeger was better and comrade Woodie Guthrie was much, much better.
And Lloyd is still embarrassed by his daughter while ole Toby sold $48 million in tickets last year against a few hundred thousand four poor old Nat.
But.. Toby just hasnt got global reach like so many country singers. Pete and Woodie were great they cared about people. Saw Peggy and Joan this summer at Cambridge but they are both now well past it.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 08:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some people will argue over anything,
Feb 15th, 2016 - 08:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0enjoy or not enjoy the music for what it is.
Woodie Guthrie is more popular today than he ever was.
Feb 15th, 2016 - 08:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He has a booming live musical festival and a new museum and cultural arts center.
The red dirt genre draws heavily on his material as did Dylan and Springsteen.
I'm surprised Burny hasn't seized on it considering the common themes.
Speaking of commies and economic depressions - I wonder if Obamy has ever heard Brother Can You Spare A Dime - it should be his theme song since he has reigned over the biggest post recessionary non recover in US history.
The Argies could always have Kanye West instead. Seeing as he admits to being $53 million in debt, he would be right at home.

Feb 16th, 2016 - 07:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Lol, if it weren't for The Beatles & and The Stones selling your own music back to you, you'd still be convinced Pat Boone was the very height of funkiness.
Chronic is not American. He is faking it - anything to argue.
Feb 16th, 2016 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Stones tour was robbed of its proceeds in a violent ambush in Argentina. Two contracted couriers were shot. One has died.
Rock on, Argentina.

Feb 19th, 2016 - 08:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes-no dragging out of celebrities to use as Malvinas myth propaganda operatives-just a sensible message to the world the Harpy rejected, the parts of the world that can actually be more help to Argentina than Syria, Venezuela et al.
What a sellout Jagger is, now wonder Bianca left him. Surely even her political opponents would agree Cristina was more rock'n'roll than Macri? Also, isn't it funny how mercopress now seems to read like a Pravda for the Argentine government ;) Happy birthday the true rockstar, the beautiful badass Cristina, here's to another year of rocking the boat :=)

Feb 20th, 2016 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If CFK is so rock and roll, she should form a rockgroup as she was an abject failure as Argentine president.
With Macri addressing Argentina's issues and seeking to find solutions, Argentina is much more respected internationally than it was two months ago.
