Palace Revolution 2000
I don't hear any envy in his short remarks. He also says that he loves the Stones. And to say that DA hasn't done anything except Blur is fantasy. He has released around 15 excellent albums, that stay with or ahead of the times. Solo, with Gorillaz, Good, Bad & Queen.

Oh yes, he says that he loved (not: loves) the Stones, but only "in their heyday".

Poor Taylor. She’s got co-writers on almost all her songs.
What a fool.

From the article:
"Co-writing is very different to writing. I’m not hating on anybody, I’m just saying there’s a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes.”
WOW so true, a "big difference" indeed. He's really got his head screwed on. So idiot simpletons like Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards and Gilbert & Sullivan were just cowriters.
How weak. They should look to people like Damon Albarn who is the real deal.
Fab haircut too.

Indirectly, Albarn is putting his finger on a developent in music today: The amount of producers and others who join in to write songs with major artists. Hence producing becomes songwriting.
That may lead to the artist's voice or signature sound vanishing from the music a bit in the process, compared to how it used to be.

That's a really good point

Possibly, but what has this got to do with the topic "Damon Albarn rips The Rolling Stones"?

We could debate this forever I suspect, but just how many, say, Lennon-McCartney compositions are genuine 50/50 collaborations? About a dozen? The reality is that they wrote separately much of the time, yet chipped-in on each-others’ individual works. I’ve always felt that Lennon-McCartney, Jagger-Richards, etc, is for publishing and royalty purposes. They’re not really a writing partnership. What did Jagger contribute before he could strum a few chords? A lyric here and there? Before ’68, Keith was the primary songwriter. In a nutshell: they all write individually. Beyonce and Taylor Swift having ‘co-writers’ is different, in my opinion. I wouldn’t be shocked if, any their case, it was code for ‘ghost writer’

I love Albarn. Blur is one on my all time favorite bands. Such a great band, also live. Gorillaz very cool to.
