Neither Noor or Jerry need more money.
Are you sure? "Man ist nie schön und reich genug." (Charles Robert Watts - sorry I have only the German translation in mind).
Ich kenn das so: "Man kann nicht schlank genug sein und man
kann nie reich genug sein."

It's all subjective. I have always detested "Rough Justice," but love "Rain Fall Down." Should I blame the muse? I don't compare what I like to the best of their first decade, it's just a question of whether I enjoy it or not. For me, that's not cynical, it's just in the eye of the beholder...or possibly the ear.

Actually, 35love, that train of thought got derailed a bit. It started with me saying I didn't care about Mick's lovelife so long as he channels it to creative use and that elicited a response from Stoneage that I must admit Mick's lovelife hasn't inspired good songs since the 1970s.
I disagree as it happens, though I don't look to a muse for why a song works or doesn't, it's simply a question of whether I enjoy it or not. Obviously, plenty of fans stopped caring after Taylor quit or after TATTOO YOU or after Bill quit.
My views aren't typical around here. I love the studio versions of "Emotional Rescue" and "Harlem Shuffle" and think "You Got Me Rocking" works great in concert. I like some of Mick and Keith solo as much as I do the Stones of the past 30-odd years. I think "Rough Justice" is lousy and love "Rain Fall Down," "Look What the Cat Dragged In," "Laugh I Nearly Died," and "Biggest Mistake." Overall, I complain about A BIGGER BANG though because the ratio of songs I liked to songs I didn't was far lower than normal.
I'm also expecting a new album next year despite the "Doom and Gloom" if you'll pardon me referencing another song I don't like.

Any Way You Look At It (a beauty!) and Already Over Me as well
...Any Way You Look At It .... love it's gentleness ....
Already Over Me solid soul style ballad ... the build gets me...ambience ... but track runs a tad too long ... cymbal crashing rave-up near the end gets a bit noisy .....
