There's a difference between being intelligent & being pretentious...

Yes, but you can also combine them...

Well, Mick Jagger is not a dumb guy, but let's not overate his intelligence. Even the Ringo is so much smarter than Mick. Actually, Ringo alone is smarter, and of course, more talented than all the Rolling Stones members - living or death - including their mastermind Oldham.

it's very important we find out who the real smart guys are in the biz. to wit, i think there ought to be a mandatory iq test taken for all rockers. and the results should be explicitly revealed on all band artwork and tickets. if we're gonna blow money on these folks, we should at least be aware of the intelligence that goes into the music.

The more stupid ones tend to make the best rock & roll, as it comes from the heart instead of the mind.

What? Going back to the proposal of us needing a drunken Jagger? A proposal that I full heartedly endorse btw.
Yes, I've pondered that one too: that John and Paul should meet. I am a lifelong Stones hardcore, but Mick and Keith meeting to me was a great combo; the yin and yang for the best rock'n roll partnership. Not just in the writing dept. Together they created one beautiful whole.Quote

Macca is extremely musical and melodical. "IQ" is bull because people can be smart in different ways, but we all still use it.
Interesting - if you believe in the rarity of genius, it's an amazing, amazing coincidence that Paul and John would both exist in Liverpool, England at the same time and find each other, and that Keith and Mick would overlap in the same way in London. Maybe genius isn't that rare...maybe it's by design. I'm always amazed that we had Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, and then nothing else as good over the following 200 years.

The word "genius" gets tossed around like nothing these days. The Rolling Stones are "a collective genius" if that makes any sense. On their own, they were all very talented musicians. But that's it.

makes more sense if you do global replace of "are" with "were," but yeah....
