Title: Mr.Blackstone

 How come whenever they show a group shot of the current Stones lineup, Mr.Blackstone is absent? Isn't he the official replacement for Bill Wyman? Doesn't he perform at all Stones gigs?  So is he a real Stone or not?

If I was Mr.Blackstone, I'd wanna be an official Stone.

I wonder if they'd replaced Wyman with an old white guy if they'd let him in the pictures.

I would venture to guess that he is a hired musician rather than a full fledged band member,much to his and his accountants dismay. Speaking of pictures of old guys still rocking out, check Bob from his recent Philly show:                                             http://homepage.mac.com/mstecker/RP_Philly_2006/ (http://homepage.mac.com/mstecker/RP_Philly_2006/)

I wonder if Blackstone, the invisible, has a rider in his contract that if he stays on for 20 years as bassist then he'll become a full fledged, card carrying member of Teh Stones..?
