They barely, but legitimately, made it to 45. But this re-animated version of
Keith, dragging the beat and staring at his fretting fingers, is more than a
little bit creepy. Subtract the choirs and hardworking divas and guest guitarists
who can still play, and it would all be quite tragic.

Then again, put a guest guitarist and guest vocalist on every song, and no reason
the Rolling Stones couldn't do five shows a year in perpetuity.

Yeah without the choir and guest guitarist this song would suck

Tomato, tomahto

Ya know what is fun...funny?? _{I am watching some basketball and football typing to IORR.... you in general being highly productive... and l}ooking through some boxes of crap fun stuff and reading.... and blah blah...
and it is always funny to read the last page/words of Stones books...

e.g. I found this old poster book from 89... and it has some cool pix...
and on its last page it said....

Not about "proving" anything, or you'd be perhaps be right.

It's about.. the love of the music.

And the love of their fans and vice versa.

60 also has a nice ring to it.

You don't get off the bus when it's still running perfectly well and smoothly, you wait until it runs out of gas, or gets a flat tire, or throws a piston,.... or something.

You're gonna make me cry. There's no good number to end on.

wow rev...I didn't think you'd be one for sour grapes. you were wrong, big deal, half the board didn't think they, especially Keith, had anything left. The clips sound great, the band sounds great, mick sounds great. Pour yourself a glass of koolaid and set awhile.

Is it sour grapes? Or am I just refusing to drink the Keith-is-back kool-aid?

How does one know such a thing for sure?

I just know I really dislike this band for the first time in 48+ years, and that
for the first time, to my ears, NOTHING remains of the synergistic playing that
makes made the Stones the Stones. NOTHING remains of Keith's co-leadership.

So since I am one of those purists who have always maintained that there is no
Rolling Stones without Keith Richards, for me there is no Rolling Stones anymore.

So here's the kool-aid I've prescribed for myself: It's really 2007 and these
are just the last few shows leading up to their last show ever, the Bigger Bang PPV.

Well done, Keith! Well done, Stones! Happy retirement! And happy 2008 to everybody!
