The Rolling Stones are set to play a show in Serbia. It'll be their first performance in the former war torn area. But, the choice of venues is causing a little stir (or "stir up" for pun addicts).

The Stones are set to play at a racetrack. However, the stage and concert area, according to some, are too close to the stable area where 300 or so horses reside. Concerns have been raised that the noise, vibrations and general ruckus of a large rock concert will agitate the horses.

A suggestion was raised to drug the horses to keep them calm during the show. Although some don't think that is fair to the horses and want the venue changed. T the Stones likely response will be "hey, we dope Keith to keep him calm during the show" so what's the big deal?

Of course, there is another option besides moving the venue or drugging the horses. Simply move the horses for the day. I imagine between the Stones and the promoter they can scrape together the cash to make the necessary accommodations.
