I loved reading those stories, Tatters....it's those eccentricities that true artists have, and didn't Hendrix have some too.
You may be right about some of what you're saying.
Maybe stones fans shouldn't come to his shows expecting to hear stones tunes or expecting him to play the game, esp at his age. Maybe Taylor's career isn't doing so good because of these expectations, or because of his not always so kind perspective of stones fans. He could just do his own songs at his shows then a different type of crowd would show up.
P.S-- Smokey----> I never asked him those questions, but I didn't get the impression he ever jammed with Brian or he would have said so. He spoke respectfully but it was brief.
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
