Pope tries to stop Rolling Stones from playing in Cuba

http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-ne...es-7631651

The Vatican had asked them not to play on Good Friday, even suggesting they start at midnight to avoid the holy day.

A tour insider said: “The band’s team were flabbergasted when the Vatican got in touch by letter – couldn’t believe their eyes.
“Much as they didn’t want to upset the Pope, they had a contract to play and were going to honour it.
“They have made a promise to the Cuban people and won’t let them down.”

A second source said the Stones respectfully replied to the Vatican, saying other global music events were being held on Good Friday.


I think it's simple, if you don't like the Strolling Bones playing on good Friday, don't go to see them, problem solved

I'll respect the pontiff's opinion on when the Stones should play when he can recite all the lyrics to 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'.

So, do horny priests not fuck children on Good Friday ?

Let's see the papal order on that.

Hopefully, Sympathy for the Devil was part of the gig.

I didn't know the Vatican was in Cuba. Fair enough, then. Playing a concert in the Vatican in Cuba would be very inconsiderate.

But this is the Stones, here.  Much more important than any of this jesus bullshit.

[Crossless2.0]

Fuck the pope.

Judging by the size of the crowd reported at the concert, I'd say there are a lot of Cubans who wouldn't disagree with you.

Now he's a booking agent? I knew he was a con artist, but that's taking it to a whole 'nother level, fuck me.
