Excerpts from two recent news items:
Mick Jagger Joins a New ABC Sitcom - By far the most unlikely star of a prospective fall situation comedy is that still-active lead singer of the Rolling Stones, who has signed on to an ABC pilot for its fall schedule. Just to increase the degree of unlikelihood, Mr. Jagger shot his scenes for the New York-based pilot in a hotel room in Auckland, New Zealand, last week.
That was the culmination of a saga at least as whimsical as the premise of the show, which, for now, anyway, is titled "Let's Rob Mick Jagger."

Keith Richards Falls Out Of Palm Tree - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was hospitalized for a mild concussion he suffered while vacationing in Fiji, reportedly after falling out of a palm tree.
[...]
Richards, 62, was injured earlier this week and flown to a New Zealand hospital for treatment, band spokeswoman Fran Curtis said in a statement Saturday.
[...]
The statement did not elaborate on Richards' condition or explain how he was injured.

Anyone else think ABC picked the wrong Stone?
I'm sure Keith Richards, a.k.a. Lazarus, is fine. What could possibly kill him that hasn't already happened?
