(antiMusic) The Rolling Stones aren't about to let a fascist law stop them from getting their satisfaction from nicotine. Two members of the band violated the UK's new smoking ban while performing at the O2 Arena.Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood sparked up during their concert at the London venue in direct violation of the politically correct law and the operators of the venues feared a fine over the ciggies but Greenwich Council decided to let it slide. Perhaps they took the Stone's famous lyrics to heart and decided it wasn't worth it to impose a fine when it would question their manhood. (But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke / The same cigarrettes as me) As we reportedly earlier this week, Sunday's concert at the O2 Arena has been rumored to be the band's final concert. A unnamed source told a paper that the band planned to retire at the conclusion of their current "Bigger Bang Tour," which ends it's two year run on Sunday night. No word about such plans have come out of the Stones camp.
