Cheers, majesty - and pardon me; if I crossed any lines.

Thanks His Majesty; I was wondering whether I've ruined a emotional moment for you - but obviously I didn't. I still find it a wonder that you dislike most of their post 1972 releases; especially after hearing your excellent version of "Coming Down Again" - but I guess taste can't be nothing but subjective..!

ironic that the 'power of positive thread' has gotten a little owly.

It is not "tension", it is someone making personal attacks, and someone responding to them. I am peaceful, unless someone starts with the personal attacks.

Count me in as well. I'm longing for a decade that ended long before I was born and have been doing so for the last 15 years.Quote

I'm mostly a sucker for the sounds, tastes etc of the 60's.

Yeah, so, I'm having a moment, probably can't articulate it well, but anyway allow me to ramble...
There's been much talk these past few years, a lot of it negative regarding our, I assumne, favourite band, Keith's current playing abilities etc etc... I've been pretty bad for that since Keith's book came out...
Ah, fuk, watching this...
10 years since George died, talented Amy's just died, life is so very fragile.
We are gonna miss these stoned fukkers when they are dead and gone, how f-ing sad is will the day be when we see the horrid headlines telling us Mick or Keith have passed away!!?
Best get the good vibes from within out there whilst they are still alive. Beautiful moments like that sweet Joe Brown clip shouldn't be kept back for tributes to the dead.
Our boys have brought us much joy, maybe even saved our lives in some little way on occasion, now as they are in their older age, maybe their talents of yesteryear have left them, maybe the desire to make strong musical points has dwindled, but damn these stoned cats deserve support for the music they have done and do, even if it ain't as good as 1969 or whatever, loyalty is a wonderful thing, positive thoughts are too...
It's cool that 50 or so years since these guys changed peoples lives and the musical world that Mick is still making music, cool to see Keith in studio smiling, looking happy, hopefully recording some good shhit. Bill's out there playing with a great band, Ronnie's having some kind of renaissance, which is so ace to witness! Taylor still playing, Charlie is Charlie, doing what he does and doing it well.
Guess what I'm trying to put forward is that the current wave of crap talk isn't going to help anyone or anything. First of all, it's making IORR a depressing place to visit and you know what? I'm sorry for contributing to that. Also, if they sense or read this crap, how is this negativity supposed to inspire the stones to do anything?
It's easy to get carried away with all this, to over think stuff, yeah they are money whores, but hey, the intent behind this post is open and genuine so please be gentle.

No sense in staying positive over something in which you have no say and cannot influence in any way, let alone control. As far as the Stones are concerned, hope for the best, but expect nothing, and demand even less. That way, anything good comes as a pleasant surprise.

Very touching post Philip. And seeing Dhani Harrison - the spitting image of his wonderful dad - at The Concert For George brings a tear to my eyes everytime.
