So the quote....'have nor written a song of any consequence for over 30 years...'
Should now read 37 YEARS.

Released in 2015... but written when?
And what was of consequence of it? What is the Rolling Stones fandom endlessly talking about from this release, specifically, that adds to the canon?
What is there that makes it... a classic?

Yeah that's the very definition of an artist... An artist is a sociopath, an artist is an outsider, an artist is not compelled to like the society he lives in, an artist has a "Guy Fawkes" side to him (as in "let's blow up this sh!tty world").
Keith Richards is an artist. Mick is an extremely talented songwriter and an amazingly talented performer.
I'm always amazed by the sight of people going to museums to wathc the works of dead artists. Have they got any idea they look at the work of people who were deeply depressed, clinically mad, at war with their times/disgusted by the society they lived in, etc etc...?
People who queue en masse at teh entrance of museums probably don't realize that, do they?

This article does a pretty devastating job breaking down how blissfully unscathed Keith has glided through life, with an almost sociopathic lack of accountability.

I often think its a shame Keith doesn't have a more active song writing partner in the Stones over the last decade or so to push him on. Its clear from Crosseyed Heart ( whether you like it or not, weather you like Keith singing or not ) that Keith still has his musical genius in tact, but Keith is lazy and Mick is disinterested in working with him ( probably due to Micks writers block ), i feel its a terrible waste of talent that Keith has not made more music and collaborations recently.
Crosseyed Heart surprised me, its as good as anything Keith has written since Tattoo You and i'm sure he has lots left in the can. Perhaps Keith should give Steve Jordan another ring sometime soon. This new Stones album is taking an eternity to finish for some reason. Probably down to Mick imho.
Its time for Keith to move on now, Mick's dried up creatively, it has to be said.

Further proof that Mick is no longer a viable co writer for Keith. MICK'S RUNNING FROM KEITH. Mick prabably knows he's washed up creatively and doesn't want Keith to witness it in such a raw state. It's sad for Mick to end such a creative career this way but it happens to most artists this late in life. Keith is the exception along with people like Dylan.

Cheers Hairball, it's good to be back.
I see MisterDDDD forgot we were friends again. I think it's right to comment on Mick being able to write just three or four below par songs in 11 years. Hardly troll like behaviour, it's a concern for a diehard fan like me. Hope Mick proves me wrong though, can't wait for the new album if it ever gets finished.

There are some comments above about how Keith still has it creatively, but Mick doesn't. I don't get that.
Keith's solo album Crosseyed Heart, in fact all his solo albums, wouldn't even have been possible without Steve Jordan. And Mick's recent single was Jagger/Clifford.
Perhaps these guys are just used to being band members so much and for so long that they really can't write solo material on their own. I don't know, does Bob Dylan work that way? Either you're a songwriter, or you're a doodler whose ideas can never be complete without someone else to add the finishing touches.
Jagger and Richards used to work that way together, each being the other's quality control so to speak.
But the new Stones album -- which has been new for so long it'll be old before it's even released -- will never truly be a Rolling Stones album, but more of a self-tribute album instead.
The songs that are brought in will be Jagger/Clifford and Richards/Jordan. If you have to order out to cook up the house menu, then it's no longer the classic hamburger joint you ate at as a kid -- it's McDonald's.
Enjoy your new order of re-heated Rolling McStones.

Maybe Steve brings out the best in Keith and i'm very happy about that, and long may it continue into another solo album or two from Keith.
