I definitely agree with this !! And Chuck isn't the only "souless" member of the band...
When you analyze it, as has been pointed out many times, "in Keith's own words" that the Stones are a "corporate affair". In other words, the entire band has become "souless"...
But, not to worry, because we have the "soulfull" members of IORR to straighten it all out.
So, this housecleaning of course starts with souless Chuck who hit his peak with the Allman Brothers and we've had to suffer thru Chuck on these horrible tours like Voodoo Lounge, B2B, Forty Licks, all the while we all know that he needed to be replaced by that soulful keyboard monster, Benmond Tench...
NEXT... Ronnie's gotta go, so we're replacing him with that "soulful" Ted Nugent. Plenty of angst and attitude and "fire in the belly" from the MotorCity Madman
NEXT... Keith's fingers are blowing up and his hair implants are falling out, so it's time to replace this fogey with some "soulful youngblood", so Keith's out and C.C. Deville is in...
NOW, that's a soulful frontline: Ted Nugent and C.C. DeVille... they'll be playin' right in time with Bendmon Tench
NEXT... Mick Jagger at 64 is ready for the rest home. We replace him with Ricky Martin who brings "latin soul" from a place most of us can only imagine. New dancing moves to ......
ORRR... we can just "replace the audience"... as Anthony Kiedis observed 10 years ago "the average stones audience is a bunch of lawyers and CPA's who can't rock anymore"... perhaps it's not the piano player that's "souless" but the lackadaisical audience.
"It's just that demon life has got me in it's sway..."
