YES on David Wild. A few years ago he somehow got an interview show on the Bravo network or something similar. Somehow - b/c he is the least telegenic person you can imagine. Resembles an out-of-shape hobbit. I caught the Lou Reed episode, which included live performances, but the interviews were terrible. I thought that kind of rock critic figure -- eager to seem cool, but in fact hopeless and snobbish -- went out by the end of the 70s.
I believe he also ended up doing liner notes for a coltrane boxed set, of all things. I don't know how he's made a career.
Is it really believed ron co-wrote "IORR"? I can't get over all these conspiracy theories for every great stones song. Somehow mick and keith haven't written any of them; they were all written by people who never wrote good songs for their own careers!
