The official word is that old goat rockers Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have patched up their latest rift in time to tour again http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=711467 However, sources close to the pair suggest the Rolling Stones haven't toured in person in well over two decades, noting that when Dolly Parton, known to be a shrewd businessperson, opened her Dollywood themepark in eastern Tennessee she also purchased the rights to the Stones. "Pretty much everything was for sale back in the eighties," the sources said. Using animatronics pioneered by Disneyworld, and relying on local Appalachian craftsmen skilled in making "apple dolls" from dried apples, she created the touring version of the Stones that audiences have seen ever since.
