Jagger took over the finances when they formed their own label in 1971. He found out how broke they were. Jagger has always been a CHEAP SKATE...THe RS are basically a corporation where everybody is on salary. I imagine the 4 orginal members are the shareholders, with Jagger and Richards holding the majority of shares. I imagine that by now Ronnie Wood has a profit sharing agreement.
Last December at the show I saw, Jagger cut a verse on Sympathy to pick up 17 seconds to get back on time with the show. Thats how close the Stones work their shows.
Keith is the prime motivation for touring, its when he comes alive, and Jagger will follow. If Charlie quits touring its over, and Charlie has had some health issues.
