Trump crashed STONES CONCERT he was BANNED, Richards pulled a knife, "its him or us."

[Centerleftfl]

Damn! never heard any part of this story before. Anyone else here heard it? Frankly, I'd be a WHOOOOLE lot more scared of KEITH RICHARDS than I would have been of the ORANGE ASSHOLE. Both of these sound highly plausible. Trump claims that people want him, beg him to 'show up' and he tried it here. Richards called bullshit. Do I think Richards would pull a KNIFE to make a point? Oh helll yeah!

The night the Rolling Stones fired Trump: Keith Richards once pulled a knife to get him out of Atlantic City venue

In 1989, The Rolling Stones’ original members ended their seven-year hiatus and embarked on an ambitious and profitable 115-show tour of Europe and North America. The American leg, named after their comeback album “Steel Wheels,” began in August in Philadelphia and ended in December in Atlantic City.

The final show, at the Boardwalk Hall (f.k.a Convention Center), aired on pay-per-view and — like the Miss America Pageant, also held at the Hall — was to be sponsored by the adjacent Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

Even in the late-‘80s, however, The Stones didn’t want to be associated with Trump. So they cut a deal with him, stipulating he wouldn’t be involved in any promotional capacity outside of Atlantic City and, amazingly, wouldn’t be allowed at the show itself.

This story, told last summer and resurfaced on social media this week, illustrates just how deep the animosity went.

On the night of the event, “I get word that I have to come to the press room in the next building,” Michael Cohl, the tour’s promoter, told Pollstar last August. “I run to the press room in the next building and what do you think is happening? There’s Donald Trump giving a press conference, in our room!”

According to Cohl, Trump then tried to convince him that “they begged me to go up, Michael.” “Stop it,” Cohl replied. “Don’t make a liar of yourself.”

Thinking he’d extinguished the fire, Cohl returned to the dressing room only to get word five minutes later that Trump (being Trump) had found his way back to the mic.

“Donald,” Cohl pleaded. “I don’t know if I can control this. Stop it.”

Again to the dressing room. Again word that Trump is promoting. This time guitarist Keith Richards offered his help: “Keith pulls out his knife and slams it on the table and says, ‘What the hell do I have you for? Do I have to go over there and fire him myself? One of us is leaving the building – either him, or us.’”

“One of two things is going to happen,” Cohl told Trump. “You’re going to leave the building and, at 6:40, The Rolling Stones are going to speak on CBS News, or you’re not going to leave the building and I’m going to go on and do an interview to explain to the world why the pay-per-view was canceled”

Then, while literally telling Donald Trump “You’re fired,” Cohl noticed Trump’s “three shtarkers he’s with, in trench coats, two of them are putting on gloves and the other one is putting on brass knuckles.”


Cohl signaled his head of security, who “got 40 of the crew with tire irons and hockey sticks and screwdrivers,” effectively sending off Trump and his goons.

“And that was the night I fired Donald Trump,” Cohl concluded.

If this isn't Richards, I will eat this keyboard. And I'll bet TRUMP was one blond/orange BLUR.

Our point? He looked 105 when I saw him in 89. And he still got TRUMP thrown out of his own property.

Women, money, he didn't LIKE him? You got me but TRUMP was told DON'T COME. When he did, Richards said get your ass out.

Keith Richards could teach MC CONNELL about BALLS. Maybe Richards' balls are 5' of his 5'4".

TRUMP SIDED WITH THE SMART BUSINESS MOVE, AND PROTECED HIS INVESTORS FROM THE LITTLE LIMEY CHILDREN's TANTRUM...MADE A MINT.

And was thrown out of his OWN venue by Limeys who apparently hated his guts. And they were willing to walk away from Trump and his space and were willing to take the money, marbles and chalk. Who won again?

Funny tweet on Keith Richard’s birthday, “he doesn’t look a day over dead”.

That's FUNNY! I was trying to pull up the old photos from JACKSONVILLE in 89 and everything was a jumble because apparently, they came Jacksonville AGAIN, late last year. (lots of 'politics' with that one by the way) .Anyway, either year's pictures of RICHARDS, there's really no skin, just wrinkles (make that crevices). (Though, I saw one photo either 'photoshopped' or 'face lifted' and they were sure were 'smoothed'). Anyway, he has also done the eyeliner stuff.

He's the same size as little Mike Bloomberg.

He's the same size as little Mike Bloomberg.

He's actually 1.74m, which is just over 5' 8" for our metrically challenged friends.

He's the same size as little Mike Bloomberg.

And managed to get TRUMP thrown out of his own 'property'.
