Turd On The Run
I've written and directed music videos...this is quite possibly the most beautiful music video I have ever seen. It is Steinbeck's 'The Grapes Of Wrath' set to music...the images are so evocative and so deeply touching.
[video.virginradioitaly.it]
I actually don't care if Jagger's voice is thin...at an age when the only noise their most of their contemporaries can make is while passing gas these cats are still making incredible music...and Jagger is still putting what he has to offer out there. We are really fortunate and blessed...

have you noticed Jagger of 2009 nearly going back to the Jagger of 1985 !!! with the snarling...check out timer of 3:30-3:3:45...reminds me of his solo growling stuff with Bowie...classic 80's...

yes how often i have yeared for the mick of the eighties. not.
the video is impressive; turd on the run has great descriptive abilities and i agree it's really a lot of stuff .... almost too much so as to be disparate in relative vision to the songs lyrics imo. like the vid ammeblage director is talented but not really into the stones. that vid would be striking with all that iconic imagery if kermit was singing it's not easy being green. actually that would have made more contextural sense...
note to self; call kermit's agent...book him for beelyvid.
ok where was i?
uh, it's not that mick's voice is 'thin' imo. i think he sings fine; sounds fine; is in possession STILL of a majestic and original sound with enough tone plenty enough tone and facility to work wonders. absolutely belive that.
it's that, imo, mick is too histronic. this was cut so long ago maybe not in a key he's comfortable in now; i don't know THAT for sure......
but the studio voke performance to the renewly mixed track (nice enough!!) (interesting enough!!)... is pure waste...to avoid ungentlemanly language....
so over the top histrionic... there's nothing of his natural expressive talent to get thru the caricatured overbearing mess he makes of this. what a shame to have exile on main street, perhaps the single gresatest rock and roll release of the entire art form!! be sullied by cheap promotional trash add ons....
imo.

Question for Turd on the Run: Where do you think the older clips come from? some of the clips look officially old and some are staged. Who compiled this montage and can you also tell me what you think of the meaning of the guy that misses the bus and is playing with the stones??
[by just actually writing that last bit down I think it occurs to me the meaning actually] (!)
the video drives me crazy because I have all these questions...I need context.
and whats with the burning tree?
I see:
poverty
city life
getting out
gotta leave
boy on train
girl on bus
heading west
desolation
"we quit"
"thanks"
"desire"
dead cow in river
heaven

Memo From Tina Turner
I love this tune as well but many people seem to hate it for some reason. I'm actually quite surprised that all the comments on this thread have been positive so far.
