Members Billster Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Even the horses! Preparations to sedate as many as 300 horses stabled at Belgrade's racecourse to keep them calm during a Rolling Stones concert have enraged Serb animal lovers who are lobbying to have the gig moved to another venue.

Members Spin Cycle Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Clearly horses like the rolling stones (now, not then) about as much as i do if they have to be sedated not to voice their disapproval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steveg Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 My close friend went to most recent Stones show here in Phoenix. He said Kieth Richards could hardly play the songs and that it was BAD! He said people were leaving... and the tickets were VERY EXPENSIVE!
