and of course its not just the lyrics, which are just words. its also the actions,
which speak louder than...
why does he stick with jerry hall to a certain point and then suddenly bolt for
this very tall thing? why does he put the world on hold with regard to the
50th? why does he not ever confess how he feels? why does he pull the plug on
superheavy right when it goes top 5 in dozens of countries?
your position seems to be "i can't possibly know unless mick tells me"
my position is, "mick will never tell you, and if he does he's purposefully
lieing, so you might as well get to work on the problem yourself or with
others, because there is no alternative. except eternal ignorance"

I remember reading in the newspaper that there are cities in America where there is not only a minimum score on a test you need to qualify as a cop, but also a maximum! Apparently if you're too smart, they won't hire you! I always meant to follow up on that article to see if this was a widespread practice, but I never have.
A professor once told me the reasoning behind that is smart people aren't as obedient; they question orders rather than just following them. I don't know how widespread the practice is.
Thanks for the Joss Stone track; that was nice.

For those of you who are Facebook friends with Bernard, he made some interesting comments about Jagger's White House performance.

here is what he said:
"Please dont send me any more messages or emails about Jagger at the white house. I saw it and what you saw was a pure adrenaline rush. Sometimes we(vocalist/performers)in trying to be the best get a rush thats so powerful I cant even begin to describe. If we dont control adrenaline , it controls us and thats what you saw!!! He was excited! If youve been to a RS show you would know that he does it big. A stadium performanece in a living
room is what you saw .Didnt look tired to me just look excited. I think he kicked ass and thats all Im gonna say about it."

Nice to see someone else is sort of getting it. In short, Mick is a drama queen in a sort of business like way. He is a master promoter and script writer. He has very carefully and masterfully scripted the last five years since the conclusion of the ABB tour. He will always give you a little bit, but not the entire piece of the pie right up until the very last possible moment. People that take the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, (and even life itself) too literal are going to struggle in their understanding. Once you realize that they are winking at you that's when the fun begins. I have enjoyed the last five years more than when they are actually touring. It's the anticipation of things to come that makes life so exciting.

sorry for my mistake, of course he said "I think the main thing I have learned is that since James Brown passed away, Mick Jagger is the hardest working man in show business!"
This is an interview from Feb 5, 2012
"There are a ton of rumors swirling about whether or not The Rolling Stones will tour this year to commemorate their 50th anniversary. If they do it will you be on the road with them?
Bernard Fowler: If they go and If I am asked to join them, yes I will be there. There's no way I can say no! It will be Rock and Roll History in the making."

Yeah, it's so much more fun speculating as to what they're going to do, than to listen to new music or attend live shows.

despite being quoted sorta affirmatively by stonescrow, let me just say that I
am nonetheless much more in the treacle camp on this...
1) Yes, I have always enjoyed Mick's media manipulations on behalf of the
Stones, but that was when the Stones were a culturally dominant at least
semi-working band.
2) Whatever Mick is up to these days, manipulation-wise, I see no evidence
whatsoever that it is building up hype and anticipation. Intentionally or not,
I think the life-blood is being drained from the myth of the 50th anniversary
Stones, day by day, drop by drop.

You should be quite revved up for the gigs that take place in July.

Are you serious? This is more fun than going to a live show? How could it be?
I don't agree that the last five years have been masterfully scripted, but I do agree with you that Mick likes to play games
