No Satisfaction this Year

June 30, 2007 - 10:16 AM by

It looks like Rolling Stones fans in Israel won’t be gettin’ no satisfaction any time soon. The highly anticipated summer visit by these aging rock superstars has been cancelled, reportedly due to astronomically high insurance costs resulting from various security-related issues.

I must admit that I’m rather disappointed, though not at all surprised. In an interview that veteran concert producer Shuki Weiss gave to Ynet, “the truth is, that during the past ten years, bringing performers to Israel has been like a kind of mission. There’s no economic justification, absolutely none.”

 

Despite this cancellation though, you can still get your fix of foreign artists this summer, with performances by the likes of Tori Amos, Evanescence, Blonde Redhead and Nine Inch Nails, to name a few. For those of you who prefer classic rock by the Stones, though, all I can say is, well, you can’t always get what you want.
