What Is The Highest-Grossing Tour In All Music History?

Image  by kevindooley cc
How does the band-- ROLLING STONES make so much money? Their 'A Bigger Bang' tour bought in a whopping $558 million.....OK..it's the highest-grossing tour in all music history. The tour ran from 2005 to 2007...that's a lot of shows, no home life, not much rest. ....R-E-L-A-X...what's that? Well, was it all worth it?
I've read that MICK JAGER is a business wiz. The Stones did it all... sold band merchandise and song rights Along with catchy songs and lots of charisma and sex appeal, they made it big time. I loved them...some of my favorite kinda Heros.
Now, I'm asking myself.....BUT, how much is enough? They were always my models of success, the STONES.
BUT Mick, are money, fame and sex all there is in life? I'm just wondering,.... Freedom has value and self- respect and peace of mind and a quiet night with that someone special, with or without sex. Those kind of things have become my treasures more and more as I gained wisdom from my life's experiences. There's nothing wrong with things and money, let it bring peace of mind, calm and feelings of safety to you and your family. But, sometimes less things is better, if it owns us, we're running to keep up AND, to just let the Jones' go for it without us is very wise.
Golly, this post turned out different than I expected when I started, forgive me folks...Yep, Steve quit his day job  in the marketplace today...and surprisingly, we feel safe and calm. It's going to be alright. That's all. Thanks for letting me share and process this change. Jan
