This heart of stone

A couple of clinical points about the headline:

1) If the surgery is scheduled for Friday, no. Nobody is waiting to see if time is on their side. 
2)  If you don't already know whose side the surgeon is on, you might want to reconsider your options. Especially if the surgeon seems to be a man of wealth and taste. 

If you needed a Stones title for your hed (and you didn't), why stop with one that doesn't work? Did the buyout claim everyone old enough to remember "This Heart of Stone"? OK, "Let it Bleed" would be a little tacky, but let's see some effort out there.

But wait, there's more:

3) If "news stories from around the globe" are indeed reporting this news, would you mind just running one of those?
4) Singular "they" is sunshine on a cloudy day for the AP Stylebook, but this is still American English, and "band" still takes an "it."
5) "From Jagger needing stents to open an artery or a heart valve replacement" isn't even a false range, let alone a real range.
6) If you don't know, what's the point of guessing?

This one doesn't seem to have taken much time (and certainly not much effort), but however little it was, couldn't it have been spent on something else?
