You've got to lock Mick and Keith up on some island in the Caribbean with nothing to do for them to do so they can sit down and work together again.

What the Stones need -- what any artist needs -- is a deadline. When they had six weeks to come up with another single, and when they were doing album-tour-album, then Mick and Keith had to sit down every day and write songs.
But for the last, oh, 30 years, Keith has adopted this attitude that the songs just 'appear' and that he can take a riff into a session and the band will all join in and write the song. I really don't think it ever happened like that.
I know the story about locking them in the kitchen is apocryphal, but it's what they need. You've got to lock Mick and Keith up on some island in the Caribbean with nothing to do for them to do so they can sit down and work together again.

A small village in Italy proved very productive too!

Another interesting interview in a string of recent interviews from Keith. Keith is always in. Whenever he decides to speak, people want to listen. Lately we've been blessed with Keith opening up more in the interviews and that's nice. Not that the old interviews were bad! Fans are just lucky to have all these great interviews lately.

AGREED....but
Rather than doing interviews it would be nicer to report some progress on the (new) songs front and the recording of them.
Strangely, Keith makes no reference to Steve Jordan, who lets face it has been his main collaborator for the last dozen or so years.
The article almost implies that Mick is his 'regular'song writing partner when clearly that (sadly) isn't the case.
