ROLLING'S TONES PLAY MISSOULA
Missoula MT - Montana music fans were visibly moved by emotion at last night's sold out performance by famed indie folk band the Rolling's Tones.

Audience members, who had paid as much as $500 to see the band billed as The Greatest Folk Band on the Eastern Seabord, soon erupted into a frenzy of emotion, apparently in glee at seeing their beloved band. Fifteen minutes into the show, security guards called a halt to the performance due to the excessive enthusiasm of the apparently delighted fans.
The Rolling's Tones, who take their name from Jaeger's home town of Rolling, New Hampshire, include harpist Charlene Waughts, tamborine player Richard Keith and harmonicist Ron Woodsworth. The band has become famous in the New England coffee house circuit for their gentle, lyrical tunes which often confront themes of environmental awareness and gender equality. Front man Jaeger has been described by the Village Voice as "like Sufjan Stevens on anti-depressants" and by the L.A. Indie Times as "the Perry Como of the macrame and tofu generation."
During an interview earlier in the day at a local Missoula radio station, Jaeger thanked Montana fans for their warm welcome.
"Today I had a group of people come right up to my car, pound on the window and shout 'You're not Mick Jagger, you're not Mick Jagger!' Right on! Indeed I am not. Thanks for getting it," said Jaeger.
In a humorous side story, ticket sellers today have been dealing with a rash of disgruntled but dim-witted ticket buyers.
"It seems some people thought they were buying tickets to the Rolling Stones. Yeah, as if the Stones would ever play Missoula, Montana. What are these people smoking?" said one tour promoter.

that reminds me when i thought i was getting an autograph from james bond (007). i asked him how many chicks he's bagged and if he ever wears a rubber (because you never know where some of those chicks have been).
he was all "i don't know what your talking about, my name is jimmy bonds."
i ended up kicking his ass and taking his wallet..
