And, of course, I muse on how much of that ability and desire to channel dark intensity and mood shifted after the 1969 tour...

You're welcome swiss, thank you for getting me thinking with your thought provoking post(s).
Your point I quoted here is really good. No doubt in my mind the Stones seriousness about projecting such sentiments too accurately was toned down a bit after Altamont. I too think it was intentional and probably wise at the time. Although the cat was out of the bag, so to speak, as soon as they committed those songs to tape and I'm not sure how effective they could be in quelling the darkness because people who have heard the recordings have already made their associations. I guess smiling while singing Rape Murder and War is one way.
