Thursday Morning COVID-19 Update
Washington Governor Jay Inslee is doing the right thing by announcing a ban on events and social gatherings attended by more than 250 people-- should be less than 100-- in an effort to slow the coronavirus outbreak. I see there is a big empty space in the Rolling Stones tour schedule between San Diego's Credit Union Stadium where it is still due to begin on May 8-- that will never happen-- and May 12's show at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. Charlie Watts is 78 years old. Jagger and Richards are both 76. This would probably have been their last tour but I would guess the chances... more »
