Bomb threat disrupts Rolling Stones concert
http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6144336&cKey=1128675052000&ticker=true

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A bomb threat halted a Rolling Stones concert in Charlottesville, Virginia overnight, but police found nothing and the band returned to the stage about 45 minutes later, officials said on Friday.

The threat was made in a phone call just before 9 p.m. local time on Thursday and was "specific to the stage area" of the concert at the University of Virginia's Scott stadium, which was packed with 50,000 fans, said university spokeswoman Carol Wood.

"Word was got to (Stones frontman) Mick Jagger and he announced that the band would take a 10-minute break," Wood said.

The band left the stage and police with sniffer dogs, already in the stadium for checks before the concert, searched the area.

5. eeeyup
me too. That song really pissed them off, the Stones being an institution here now.

Why oh why did anyone support these people, BushCo, all of it, why oh why HOW could they have been so stupid. I just don't get it, I never, ever will.

3. Wasn't there a bomb threat that delayed Amtrack trains from
NY to Washington on Sept. 24th. And of course there were two instances of on air interviews interrupted so the Capitol could respond to a bomb threat - one involved the Newshour with Jim Lehrer as he was interviewing Senator Bidden a couple of months ago.

Thugs at work.

4. Don't forget the Waxman Hearing
when he brought in the ex CIA guys like Johnson and they got STOPPED for a bit by a Bomb threat in a nearby building and JUST as Johnson (serendipity I guess) was explaining that Plame was working as an NOC LOOKING FOR ACTUAL Biochemical, Nukular, and other WMD..

I've watched the footage hundreds of times, having edited it in my latest film "Rove's War"..

I think there is someone that schedules "events" to coincide with things they DON'T want out there..

Bet Keith Richards is shitting bricks right now (or getting STONED) as HE was worried about their latest song since He lives in the US and can be deported like good Old John Lennon got screwed with..

I loved the CNN reporter, actually BUYING the "terra" crap.. "Gee, that's so wierd isn't it? Those poor people in the front seats must have been SO nervous - of course the Stones left the building so they were alright.."

Listen LADY, it was CENSORSHIP and a WARNING just like in 1950's RUSSIA, read a freaking BOOK..

Bet the Stones are feeling like it's the 60's all over again, being F*CKED with by the MAN :)

Hope they fight back and call Bullshit on this..
